Not sure why you want a fake email / zip code in your database but okay
- hunter2_ 2y agoEven after reading the entire article, I don't understand. Mind clarifying?
- forbiddenlake 2y agoIf you click through to the app it requires an email and zip code to "register" and view the map. But it doesn't require actually receiving an email.
- wayeast 2y agoI suppose the tl;dr would go something like this: 1) we think mapping/navigation/routing should be as good for bicyclists, pedestrians, people in wheelchairs, on scooters, and micromobility generally as it is for those driving cars. 2) the reason mapping/navigation/routing is _not_ as good for micromobility as for cars is scarcity and incompleteness of map data necessary to enable it (we're using OSM to make this determination). 3) we're working on some tools to address the data problem, with an eye to building high-quality micromobility mapping/navigation/routing on top of it.
- hunter2_ 2y agoI was looking for an explanation of the comment above me, not of the article, but thanks anyway! Excellent work.
- ghostpepper 2y agoI wanted to see the map but I got hit with a registration form asking for my zip code, but I don't live in the US.
- askvictor 2y agoEspecially where it's a numeric field with a spinner widget letting you go to -1 with one click off the starting page. And assuming no-one outside the US would want to have a look at this.
