I just redesigned an old (1 year) project and would appreciate any feedback.<p>The site has no real purpose other than allowing you to explore the large amount of imagery gathered by Google.<p>You can make it less random by choosing a country, or indeed any geographical area (cities etc.)<p>http://www.mapcrunch.com<p>Thanks
I saw the tiger and immediately wanted to send it to a friend. Assuming the front page changes, here's a UI recommendation: give me a permalink so I can save/share interesting ones.<p>Fun site!
Good job on the site. I love it. I started noticing a feeling of wanderlust rising within me as I clicked around.<p>Is it just me or is Norway ridiculously beautiful?
Is this somehow keyed off interesting views? The first one that showed up for me showed a tiger walking thru a parking lot.<p>ETA: I ask because darn near every view that shows up is "interesting" somehow.
Really nice design on the website! Very polished and fun to use.<p>Related question: Are you going to be negatively affected by the Google maps usage fees next year? ( Reference: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3162352" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3162352</a> )
Cool, I found the end of the earth. It's in Finland. <a href="http://www.mapcrunch.com/p/54.877919_-7.675938_202.36_20.83_0" rel="nofollow">http://www.mapcrunch.com/p/54.877919_-7.675938_202.36_20.83_...</a>
Wow, just wow! This triggered the most severe case of Wanderlust I felt in quite a while. I'm happy that I'm headed for Amsterdam and the Quantified Self conference by the end of the month!
Comments on saved ones might be nice. For example, on the one I started on, there appears to be a tiger in Colorado. I have an urge to comment and ask if that is in fact a tiger.
Fantastic - makes me want to book a vacation to an exotic destination. Maybe you should add links to travel agencies that service these type of trips :-)
awesome. i'm going to have some fun with this and my hmd-z1 (right click > 3d mode on) when it comes in!<p>it's really staggering the amount of work and data google is offering up here.
