For an upcoming trip to NYC, I was trying to map some NYC walks and highlights using Google Maps, but I stumbled into a lot of limitations (limit on number of layers, limits of number of legs of an itinerary, ect.).
I was able to import all my existing NYC geo-points into Felt and quickly chart some itineraries from different sources. Way, way faster than Google Map.
Let's see how fast it will render once I'm on the ground in the city with mobile interent.
One major difference with Google Map is the lack of custom layers, but so far it hasn't been a problem.
This is my NYC 2022 trip map :) https://felt.com/map/New-York-2022-u7J1aE2ZSLOmdwCP4WGCOA https://felt.com/map/New-York-2022-u7J1aE2ZSLOmdwCP4WGCOA
- udfalkso 4y agoVery nice map! What seems to be missing from Felt is some interactivity to make this map useful. I can’t tap on a route to see it’s length it get it to open in google maps for routing. I can’t tap on a pin to get its address or get directions to it. It’s just a zoom able picture, which isn’t a big payoff for all the effort needed to build the map.
- olejorgenb 4y agoThe link does load for me :( I'm can't find any import function? (maybe I need the phone-app?) It looks really nice, but I think the lack of custom layers makes it quite - well - lacking. A simple feature which allowed to add an arbitrary OSM POI category as a layer (and selectively remove individual POIs) would've been very useful.
