Type in somewhere — a town, a street, a landmark, a postcode — or let your browser say where you are. Every Wikipedia article with coordinates inside a walk goes on the map.
I don’t know anything about the person who runs this and I don’t want to make any unfounded accusations, but I have to imagine that a site like this would be a data broker’s wet dream.
It knows where you live and what local things you’re most interested in. That’s gotta be extremely valuable to advertisers.
That’s really only if you use your location. If I use Nukus, Uzbekistan, for example, then that’s kind of a nothingburger for them.
Sure… but then what’s the point of using the tool?
I think the point is that you can put in any location that might be of interest to you and an advertiser probably cares a lot less about the things that you read about on a different continent.
🤦♀️
That’s true of any site you share your location with, isn’t it? What elevates this site to “wet dream” levels?
I have been dreaming of something like this for years. Walk around and be like i wonder what the story is behind that (public) building? And then just be able to find out or add information yourself.
