This is an easy interface that communicates with https://what3words.com/ and allows the user to convert from the traditional latitude and longitude coordinate system to the 3 word address system.

Popup features:

• Takes 3 word address input and converts to latitude, longitude
• Takes latitude and longitude input and converts to 3 word address
• Automatically opens tab showing location on maps when translating
• Configure add-on behaviour

Additional features:

• Automatic replacement of latitude, longitude to 3 word address in tabs - tested with google maps, and bing
• Caches translation results, making it is faster since there is no need to ask API again

How to use the popup UI
When converting from a 3 word address to coordinates, write the words separately in the 3 textboxes at the top, or the address (e.g "///beeline.scandalous.bruisers") in the orange textbox underneath. Tab or space bar can be used to select the next textbox. Press the enter key to translate. By default, a new tab on maps will open showing the location.

Translation from coordinates to a 3 word address is performed similarly. Write the latitude and longitude in the bottom textbox (e.g "37.743413, 15.031307") and press enter.

The add-on settings can be accessed by clicking the arrow at the very bottom of the popup. Uncheck the first two check boxes if you do not want a new tab to open with the location on a map when you use the popup to make a translation.

Leave the last checkbox checked if you would like the add-on to automatically replace most instances of latitude, longitude in your tabs with a 3 word address. For example on google maps you will see "///beeline.scandalous.bruisers" instead of "37.743413, 15.031307"
