Show HN: GoHere – Show someone where to go
- wingerlang 11y agoWhat's different from a gps coordinate on, say, google maps? I expected it to have multiple markers like "go here - then here - then there" etc. Personalised markers with direction that google couldn't provide would be quite nice.
- cillian 11y agoIt's similar to a standard map pin alright, but nicer to use in a "go here" situation. Sending via sms is nice for one-to-one, plus the sender gets to see if the pin was viewed or how far away the receiver is (if they allow it). You can also reserve location URLs: e.g. gohere.io/party-here which are handy for events, HQs etc. Personalised markers are a great idea. We've drawn up a few specialised ones already (beer, coffee, beach, surf, football etc) http://pinlogic.co/images/general/GoHere-Stout.png http://pinlogic.co/images/general/GoHere-Stout.png Appreciate the comments!
- techaddict009 11y agoI couldnt find search option to give pin of some specific location.
- cillian 11y agoThere is none yet, consider that feature bumped!
- StartAppAchill 11y agowhat are the use cases of this? Looks interesting though!
- cillian 11y agoSo far: Event venues (registration, parking etc.), Rental car (return location) Kite surf lessons (meet me at this beach), Wedding (obscure church location) Meeting point for tours Holiday home rental (better than verbal directions) But we're very keen to hear of more use cases.
