Mapnificent is a wonderful piece of kit. In short it basically finds out how far away stuff is by public transport – which doesn’t really get your juices flowing with excitement, but when you consider it can do all of this, it’s a whole other ball game of practicality:
- You’re friend texts you and asks if you’d like to go for a drink in 15mins. Find a bar that both of you can reach in 15mins or less
- If you move house, work out how quickly you can get to work via public transport from your new pad
- If you get invited to an interview on the other side of town, work out how quickly you can get there on public transport
It’s currently in public beta so there may be some bugs, but it’s available for most major cities and is the perfect companion for people with an imbalanced social-life:time ratio – so you can effectively use up every last minute of your day.
And you’ll get top Karma points for helping reduce CO2 emissions. Kerching!
