I did a words lat/long system as a couple day project at Christmas. https://wherewords.id/
I used the google S2 mapping, and spent quite a bit of time on my own wordlist. I like the S2 mapping - it lets you use fewer words to refer to a bigger area. I write a little bit about it here: https://wherewords.id/+about
I would have really liked to have found some good research on 'words that are hard to mistake when spoken aloud across various accents', but in the end I just spent ages going through my word list with various libraries and manually. And having friends point me to locations that had incredibly rude or offensive wherewords!
Really there should be a free, open source word<->location system that we all just standardise on and build into GPS systems and maps, because a common, free system would be genuinely useful.
