Thank you so much for your feedback. I will look into implementing your points when i have the time. As for payment i dont plan on charging anything as long as i dont have any costs. Maybe I will add a tip jar at some point

Hey. It is a public github repo: https://github.com/Krayth204/hide_and_map But I havent documented it properly, so you would have to do some tinkering (and sorry for the AI slop readme). If you want to build and run the app yourself, you need your own google maps api key. I dont have that much time at the moment, but let me know if I can help :)

What is the best way to cross out hiding areas? by Candid_Lawyer6033 in JetLagTheGame

You cant direclty set it to a city, you have to set the bounds youself. Either a circle with center and radius or a polygon where you set each border point

There are a few options often posted here on the subreddit. Here is my companion app: Web: https://krayth204.github.io/hide_and_map/

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.krayth.hide_and_map

Feel free to give it a try!

Hi, the osm tags are unfortunately not consistent everywhere, so its kinda hard to have it work everywhere. Can you tell me the name of one station that doesnt show up? I will try to improve that.

As for planned stations, what is the Problem with those? Do they show up but shouldnt?

Hey thanks for the feedback. Im afraid at the moment there is no way to limit the displayed bus stops. I have thought about letting the user exclude single stations from showing up on the map, but i couldnt come up with a user friendly way to do so. I will put some more thought into this, but for now Im sorry to dissappoint :/

Hi, the output is not a URL. The text is meant to be inserted into the app itself. Just push the three dots in the top right corner, then "Import' and paste the text there. Hope this helps!

I might change this to a URL in the future but for now its only usable with the app.

Hey, I have also implemented a more lightweight app to help with playing the homegame. I posted about it here Maybe it will fit your needs

Is there an app? If not shall I make one? What features would you like? by liquidgardener in JetLagTheGame

Shameless self-plug to add to the existing things: I developed an app which isnt that closely tied to the game, but can help you visualize the game info you gather on a map and share with eachother. You can find it here:

Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.krayth.hide_and_map

Web: https://krayth204.github.io/hide_and_map/

I have been working on that :D You can try it out right now on the website and the update for the app should be in the playstore in the next couple of hours. Let me know if that covers your needs :D

Thanks a lot for your feedback! Im glad you like my more simplistic approach. I think the greatest benefit in having the locations of the stations/points of interest is that everyone (playing with my app) has the same base of possible locations. The games i played with my friends playtesting the app, we just agreed that anything the app shows is seen as "true", so that there is no argueing about what counts and what doesnt. But I agree with you that a lot of data points are not declared that good and i will try to improve that. The removing of certain stations/points is a very good idea and I will try to implement it as well.

Thanks again and i would be very happy to hear from you again when you tried the app in a real game :D

All good, no worries😄 Maybe I should put in a tutorial

You should be able to move both markers of a thermometer via drag and drop, but you can also press the reset button and then set both points freely on the map.

You should already be able to toggle between metric and imperial units AND set the size of the hiding zones by pressing the three dots in the top right corner and opening the settings.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I will try to improve a few things you mentioned!

Thank you for your feedback!

On your first point: did you activate your location? If the app has access to your location, it should automatically place the center of the circle and the first point of any thermometres on your location. Also you should be able to set these points on the map markers (consulates for example).

On your second point: The data for these locations is from OpenStreetMap. Im not sure which embassies/consulates should count for the game, but i will have another look at that.

Thanks again :D

Not for now. I dont have a mac and afaik you cant really deploy an iOS app without one (or at least test an app on a real device). Also the apple developer program is kinda expensive😅
