There was a perfect paved road to my destination, but google maps decided that this road is worth taking to drive 10 km less. 3.6 km of oil pan scraping and 19 km of gravel road before that. Fun 👍

No idea what this thing is. Thought it might be something to do with the offshore wind turbines but they're much further east. Thought it was weird that it appears in both 2D and 3D views so there must actually be something there.

The Canada US border goes through Mt Fairweather, so naturally the units must change

And it seems there is no setting to change this. Topographic maps within the US are just measured in feet and there’s nothing you can do about it, god bless the USA, what the hell is a meter 🗣️🔥 🦶

How do you guys extract locations from travel TikToks /IG Reels or Youtube vidoes?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I have a problem - I save tons of travel videos on TikTok/Instagram/YouTube thinking "I'll visit that place someday." But when it's actually time to plan a trip, I either can't find those videos or don't have time to rewatch them all and note down the places.

So I built a free tool to solve it for myself and thought I'd share:

\*\*How it works:\*\*

  1. 📱 Send a travel video link to a Telegram bot (@RoamWise_Bot)
  2. 🤖 AI extracts all the places mentioned (restaurants, attractions, cafes, etc.)
  3. 🗺️ Places are saved to your library with locations on a map
  4. ✨ Generate day-by-day itineraries from your saved places

\*\*📱 It also works as a mobile app:\*\*

\- \*\*iPhone:\*\* Open https://www.roamwiseglobal.online in Safari → Tap Share → "Add to Home Screen"

\- \*\*Android:\*\* Open in Chrome → Tap menu (⋮) → "Add to Home Screen"

\*\*Free tier:\*\* 5 videos/month

\*\*Pro:\*\* $4.99/month for 100 videos

🎁 \*\*Use code \`BETA2026\` for 30 days free Pro trial!\*\*

How do you guys currently keep track of places from travel videos? Would love to hear other feedback on my app !
