• A Critical Analysis of the What3Words Geocoding Algorithm

  For more on this, and why I think we shouldn't advocate for W3W, see: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2019/03/why-bother-with-what-three-words/ for theoretical reasons and https://w3w.me.ss/ for some practical examples. https://plus.codes seems much better, but sadly it uses numbers instead of words, which are much harder for humans to remember ( https://xkcd.com/936/ ), so I don't think it will ever catch on. That's... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Houses having names instead of numbers.

  I wish https://plus.codes/ took off. The benefit compared to what 3 words is that you can use the closest city to give directions and cells next to each other share the bigger cell name. Source: over 1 year ago

• r/Starlink Questions Thread - March 2022

  New to this so sorry if this is stupid. I've been trying to use https://plus.codes to try to check an address for availability at starlink. Whatever code I put in, it simply tells me afterwards "please enter an address or a plus code". That website seems to give me either a shorter or a longer plus code. Neither of them seems to make the starlink website happy. When I try putting in the address, it doesn't like... Source: about 2 years ago

• I got sick of all the golf finder websites with incomplete course lists and booking fees, so I learned a new coding language and built my own searchable database of 12,000 public courses. Would love r/golf's feedback!

  It could also be cool to incorporate your own map styles based on Google Maps https://snazzymaps.com (warning, seems like a lot of ads since I’ve last used it…might want to contact their devs if you go this route). Source: 12 months ago

• I'm the Architect! I'm an experience designer who travels the world building wildly elaborate treasure/scavenger hunts. Let me teach you how! AMA!

  It's interesting. You don't need a massive budget to make a fun Advdnture! You could buy a hollow book on amazon for $10 and then place it in a library with a $1.50 map you printed at Staples and made from snazzymaps.com and Canva.com and that makes for an AMAZING moment. Source: 12 months ago

• 🙏 Thank you so much to this sub! A list of our favorite ideas we used in the wedding, from/inspired by this group + photos

  A cute map stumped me as well! I found a simplied map of the area from https://snazzymaps.com (overlaps on top of Google Maps), colored it from grayscale to purple in Photoshop, and overlaid icons from https://thenounproject.com/ on top. Source: about 1 year ago

• how do you make digital maps?

  Https://snazzymaps.com/ can be used for like city maps, you just gotta do some customizing. For some more fiddly results, but subjectively better, you could use something like QGis or other Gis applications. Source: about 1 year ago

• Are there any tools to play around with Google Maps?

  I want something to help my setting feel real for the players, and to help me get into the headspace of running the city. Online and shareable would especially be nice. Currently playing around with Snazzy Maps, but it's not quite what I want. Source: about 1 year ago
