We were so focused on the speed and relevance of search that we abandoned the copy... You are the second person who told that normally only a person or animal can be curious. When I was told it first time I checked Merriam-Webster and confirmed that curious is "exciting attention as strange, novel, or unexpected" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/curious Will polish and clarify, thank you for the feedback!
Useful info about the large parks. We are going to add activities in the parks, the duration in the parks will increase. Not all places are present in the knowledge graph yet, thus drove past. Thank you for your feedback, know what to work on next!
this error can be caused by two reasons:
1. https site uses outdated ssl version - error is shown on the latest browsers
2. https site is accessed from the very old browser/OS with outdated versions of ssl there.
Some people love to stay a week in Melbourne. Though better to tell it where you want to start, what you like in the middle (waypoints, travel-thru) and where you finish. Could be same Melbourne or could be diff location.
We did not design UI at all, because we are thinking of voice interface. You are telling your desires and constraints in conversation. They are captured. Then API is called.
This is cool. They use moving reinforcement from the games to cities. First you discocer the space, then you move.
But here is the real deal - we are going to navigate and move people by any multi-modal transportation. Uber or Moovit or Rome2Rio. First: they could be safe by design. Second: their value proposition is wider. We just started with cars and road trips. Third: car driving will be experience itself in long term future. People will pay to drive like they pay today for horses. People will kiss and lick cool cars.
I already selected such inspiring imagery, though from around the world, not purely AU. To make landing page more vivid, better understandable. Going to do next facelift with next country.
If this road info is in OSM, we will take it. Also you could send the route to Google Maps or HERE Maps. Notice red globe icon in the right top corner of the map, in opened trip plan. Click it, send to Google Maps, then send to your phone from them. Navigate using them. Could be possible to split the roads.
Just saw the sequence in your comment: Sydney - Wollongong - Goulburn - Wagga - Forbes - Bathurst - Blue Mountains - Sydney. Type those names one by one and you will get a cyclic trip from/to Sydney. But the order of waypoints could be different, optimized for max curiosity within time and budget.
We have a version in the lab, where you could define durations in locations (e.g. 2 days at Wagga Wagga), even pin location to specific date.
This is tricky. We don't know who landed on the page. How to propose Paris in France without Eiffel Tower? OK if user explicitly checks "avoid 'must see'" or "avoid overtourism". Then possible to propose different stuff. One traveler told me exactly this, a week ago. Maybe we will implement this feature.
Thought about that. Seasonality and availability. You mentioned seasonality already. Availability is different. E.g. famous cherry blossom in Japan happens in Mar-Apr. That's is future plans. Thanks for pointing it!
All tech fully vertical. We know the price of everything, from POI and living cost to turn by turn driving.There is plenty of sources. Cannot say more so far.
Monetization is ok on scale. Important to scale massively. First scale AI. Then scale geo coverage. Then users. Then revenue. Or sell to those who have scale already.
We keep it simple intentionally. Can plug any knowledge graph of POIs and experiences, any rooms and homes, and multi-modal transportation (not only car).
So far togglers are only for you. If you booked smth, you mark it for yourself.
