I've been working on a map that shows which neighborhoods in a city are nice/not nice with a short description.
Whenever I visit a new city, just looking at Google Maps is pretty meaningless - it's just a bunch of gray land and streets. I end up looking up Reddit posts for where to go, searching for crime maps, trying to find annotated maps, etc. to get a better idea of where to visit in a city (or even live, like when I had moved to Austin). AI generated scoring and descriptions, while imperfect, have already helped me when visiting SF recently. Early stage, so please help with submitting corrections, if you'd like!
I just checked a few cities I have been to and this seams surprisingly accurate. May I ask how you are collecting this data. Is it through Google reviews or how do you collect this data?
Very cool! I really like the idea, the way I'd develop this further is by having live crimes reporting on it so that you know which streets to avoid , similar to what waze does where people report items
I like the idea! In my opinion (looking at SF) it’s still too low resolution. SF in particular can vary greatly in safety, walkability, etc. even a few blocks over within a neighborhood.
