Niro Map

Map visualizer of popular places — a small weekend project for fun

This project visualizes popular points-of-interest from Overture maps places and lets you explore, filter and inspect places on an interactive map, or a signular page of that place. In total there are ~12 million places from all around the world.

For now it was just a fun weeked project, so many things are done in a quick way, some things might be broken, idk, contact if found any.

What you can do

  • Explore places by category and country
  • Inspect place details and source metadata
  • Place a pinned area and search by radius
  • Check that place at google maps based on location

Upcoming Features

  • Browse Places View - A dedicated page to explore places in a list format with pagination
  • Places export to CSV format
  • Responsive mobile view, didn't look at that at all
  • Optimization of points, atm its just sending all the points in a single batch, maybe streaming?
