Footpath Route Planner

Maker

Hi Product Hunt! I built Modern Atlas around the use case of planning trips and exploring new places. It maps out millions of guides and places from Wikivoyage, Wikipedia, and OpenStreetMaps, and gives you the freedom to craft custom maps and trips tailored to your interests. I'm the solo designer/developer, so feel free to ask me anything! eric@modernatlas.co

@ericrwolfe @modernatlas This is really cool! I love it. You guys should try if you can to integrate VR/AR to visualize these locations. That would be f** amazing but also probably very hard to do especially without budget. But if you can find a great partner in that field, you can make it happen.

App = purchased. My only complaint/suggestion is to change the map color scheme/design formatting to something WAY less distracting. Here is an example: http://bluetide.pro/15Axr/3CpyQuOb - As you can see, it's near impossible to read/use. It's so busy looking. It would be nice if the streets were more muted and such. Here are some themes I found online for Openstreetmap's: https://userstyles.org/styles/br... (cc: @ericrwolfe)

@ericrwolfe Maybe it could be a settings option where you could change the map color theme so it's a win-win for everyone based on what you like/want to see! :)

@bluetidepro Thanks for the feedback Zach! Yeah the map styles are something I'm still iterating on. Do you think is just the underlying map style, or do you find the density of places a problem? I'll try pulling down the saturation on the road color and reducing the road labels.

@ericrwolfe It could be a bit of both. Again, it would be super awesome if you made it so it was all just settings the user could toggle themselves. Like they could basically build the map it displays. Turn off/on what labels they want, pick from various color schemes, etc. Just an idea! :)

I recently saw this featured on by Apple. for those of use who love to travel, and/or have map fetishes, Modern Atlas lets you wander around the planet, browsing new places to discover, before you take off jet plane...

Awesome app! Was just in SF for WWDC and used it to keep track of amazing restaurants! Fun way to explore new places and highlight places to visit.

@ericrwolfe Just kidding, but is there an option to download a map? I know this would be a useful feature for those traveling internationally. Download the map at the hotel then explore the streets. Maybe even bookmark my hotel so I don't get lost.

@andrewherndon Full offline support with bulk area downloads will be coming in one of the upcoming versions! Also, syncing and sharing :) In the meantime the app caches any maps or content you view in the app for a while, so if you're headed out on a trip just pan around the maps and open any articles you want ready to go. Throw the app into airplane mode if you want to test it out! Btw, you can bookmark your hotel if it's not on the map by tapping and holding the map to drop a marker. Especially useful for AirBnBs :).

I’ve been beta testing Modern Atlas, and really enjoyed using it in combination with Rego. Love how it easily pulls-in all the information you need.

@michaxndr Checking out Rego now, I'd actually like to add in routes at some point. Let me know if you have any design feedback!

@samir_doshi Yes! Really glad to hear that. While making the app I really wanted to recreate the feeling you get wandering around an unfamiliar city, without an agenda, and discovering an incredible new place.
