- karussell 8mo agoThat was a nice project. Gave GraphHopper some visibility :) OpenCage did an interview with one of the creators Raphael Reimann: https://blog.opencagedata.com/post/135637030948/open-geo-interview-raphael-reimann-roads-to https://blog.opencagedata.com/post/135637030948/open-geo-int... btw: 2019 moovel kind of merged together with FreeNow (formerly mytaxi) which was recently aquired by Lyft...
- Insanity 8mo agoThere's also this website which shows ancient Roman roads: https://itiner-e.org/ https://itiner-e.org/. Note that some roads are speculative / hypothetical though. But regardless it's also a cool road map related to Rome.
- uwagar 8mo agocant any point on the map with a road be a rome?
- refactor_master 8mo agoYes, even ferries in Scandinavia can be roads when it makes for a better map… Or not ferries in the Mediterranean when it doesn’t. Honestly I think this part > The resulting images bring insights into the ways in which road infrastructure reflect regional, political and geographical situations. should just be taken as pseudo-profound art fluff. Are you telling me all Greek commercial transport goes straight through non-Schengen instead of just ferrying across?
- uwagar 8mo agofudgings for better lookings! and roman empire appeals to the usa. indeed, shipping and air transport breaks the ideology. wonder what teleportation would bring!
