• The Official MTA App

  I live and swear by Citymapper[0] for all cities that it supports. No other app I've used has been as good for public transport as Citymapper has been. I really hope one day one of these city transport organisations either buy it out, push for it, or license their tech. [0] https://citymapper.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• WWC Sydney

  I’ve had an easy time getting around in Sydney by public transport using Citymapper. Source: 10 months ago

• Am I weird?

  We do! Citymapper often will tell you what door to get on for the best exit, depending on whether there's data available for that journey. Source: 10 months ago

• Google maps should add a feature for train or bus trips to have your phone vibrate a few stops before yours, thereby allowing you to take a quick nap without worrying about missing it.

  Citymapper does this really well. It also tells you where to sit on the train to be nearest the most convenient exit at your stop. Source: 12 months ago

• DART commuters, how far do you have to walk each day?

  But by way of encouragement maybe, the area near my office—off Irving Blvd and Medical District Dr—is not pedestrian friendly by any stretch. Google Maps will give you worthless, even dangerous bike routes. Citymapper is a bit better, but really what I found paid off was spending some time studying maps, aerial and street-level imagery, then a weekend morning doing some testing and exploration.

• How to share PoI with other users?

  I haven't tried but I bet you could also import it into a uMap. Source: about 1 year ago

• Share your trips here!

  If you prefer not to use proprietary, walled-off services like Strava I recommend Umap which has some great map editing Functionality and allows sharing links or even exporting the maps as JSON. Source: about 1 year ago

• Self hosted POI map?

  I'm not hosting it myself but I'm using the open-source OSM uMap (https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/) with a custom layer that points to a GeoJSON endpoint on my webserver. Source: over 1 year ago

• collaboration between 9 users

  That being said, http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ exists. This is a website where one can make a small map, personal or shared with friends who can edit. Source: over 1 year ago

• Latest options for Maps

  Open Street Map iframe of a custom map (https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/) with an external layer that points to an endpoint on my server. The server takes my database of points/labels/etc and serves it in GeoJSON format for OSM to understand and render. Source: over 1 year ago
