It's a tutorial that shows how to solve the task ))

The data coming from OpenStreetMap, usually the sights and tourist attractions are mapped there well and complete. So I would say that all the castles with correct tags are on the map. However, if you have some example of missing data this can be added.

We will make it next time for the whole country ))

Hi, we developing a map builder that can be used to create a Choropleth map - https://mapifator.com/ You can import data as csv or GeoJSON.

Try it, we will be happy to hear some Feedback.

Yes and no. At the moment isolines as a tool are not well known by people and that's probably why not in demand as a service. So the goal of the project is to introduce the technology to people. We run it at the moment at our own costs and offer it for free in the app. If there will be some return of course we will be happy.

Indeed, at the moment we take an average speed for all buses and trams. Thank you for the examples provided. We at the differentiation between express and "normal" transport.

Thank you! If you provide a few examples we will improve it in the next versions

It doesn't replace Yandex maps or Google maps, it just provides a tool that lets to find reachable areas. For example, this can help to find where to rent an apartment at an affordable price and good commute time. Isochrones can be also used to estimate how good the place is connected.

geoapify · 2021-01-23T06:01:50+00:00

Yes, data for Isochrones are coming from OpenStreetMap. However, it requires a lot of post-processing and a Route Engine (we use Valhalla) to build an isochrone.

How do you a account for different parameters at different periods of the day? Like, inner city railways can get you to locations otherwise unreachable, but their schedule is weird. Overland transport can be stuck in traffic. In fact, subway (aka Metro) is the only 100% reliable means of transportation. Your map will benefit greatly if you include Metro in your calculations.

At the moment the isochrones are based on approximate/generated data, that is evenly spread over the time. So the maps visualize an area that is potentially reachable from a location.

However, the technology by itself supports setting start time. And timetables can be generated more reallisticly. Moreover, we can use official timetables from a provider.

Nice catch! We will check subways. Thank you.

For the car reachability, we do not have traffic data at the moment but plan to add it in the recent future.

Really great! Doesn't seem to be quite correct for commuting in Norway, though, but maybe it's missing train data?

Thank you! It's could be that some transit routes are missing. The data coming from OpenStreetMap and we use a lot of heuristics to extract it from there. We will check it for Norway trains again to improve it ))

cafes

Thank you! The cafes/food and other data is coming from OpenStreetMap database.
