Hi Scott.  That is interesting. I didn't know that the app was used by the Amateur Radio Emergency people.

What 3 Words is a fantastic application. I was first exposed to it a few years ago via Amateur Radio and its ties to emergency services. All of our local emergency services (911, Police, Fire and EMS) support it.

I am still running on Mint 20 which has long passed it's end of life.
I will also be starting fresh with Mint 22.

Never mind. I'm going to wipe the Mint 21.3 partition. I worked on the 22 partition and it's actually pretty good.

This is a good article about the service/tool that Google has available to remove some of your personal info that is showing up on the internet.

I have that app on my phone. I used it to map locations on the Lang Hastings Trail that I was surveying for incursion by vegetation. I did the survey with my trusted iPad, which I used to measure the trail width every 100 m.

I had to use the second method to get to the Mint upgrade tool. That's what I followed, but it stalled as noted. I haven't tried posting on the Mint Forums yet, but I did Google the problem, got something from the Mint Forums and tried that. It didn't work.

And one last inquiry: is the hardware Windows or Apple? Not sure why this would affect anything, but your problem does seem odd.

You could also search or post on the Mint Forum.
