Custom points would be great too, sometimes the search feature built in couldn't find the locations I was looking for.
This is actually a really fun idea. I’d honestly trust routes made by real people way more than another “top 10 places” blog post.
- not providing examples how the app works makes me not inclined at all to download this
- not mentioning anything about being limited to US makes me angry to have wasted my time trying to even try this out
How do you guarantee it?
Neat! One frustrating bug in the app is the forced ability to search states by two letter abbreviation. For example, if you start typing "Montana", your typing will be cut off, and Missouri will be selected, as the abbreviation for Missouri is MO. Custom points would be great too, sometimes the search feature built in couldn't find the locations I was looking for.
Hey, I am outside of US so I can’t try but I am curious - website says it is offline, how come?
I'd suggest forgetting about UGC for now and focusing on routes that have a real identity behind them. When my wife and I visited Japan recently, we watched several travel vloggers to see how each one planned their exploration of different neighborhoods. We picked the ones whose style resonated with us and tried to replicate their approach.
Imagine if, for a given area in a city, you could offer an exploration route tied to a specific travel creator and how they actually did it. It would feel more authentic. There's a personality behind the route, not just an algorithm. You could pull from travel videos on YouTube, use AI to extract the route and key stops, and then attribute it: "This route was done by [vlogger]." That gives you the authenticity of UGC but with real curation.
It's also a practical way to scale up your route library without burning a hole through your pocket.
