“Google may have used its market position to favor its own intermediation services.”
Fed up of sending your users to Google Maps, only for them to harness that data for their own services? We certainly are.

Google Maps have launched their own isochrone feature & it’s underwhelming. Our isochrones are built for accuracy - and we offer public transport too. Compare here: https://t.co/NRzbnjx1p8
A great comparison of e-commerce for retail vs. travel. Did you know:
1. Variability in search results requires the travel search engine to decide if it should widen the search geographically
2. 15% of travelers shop use Expedia's map-based search

@SonnyLBennett@carltonreid@CarlosMorenoFr Hey - Louisa from TravelTime here :) our standard walking speed assumes 1.4m / s. We know that everyone has different walking speeds, so we have chosen a middle ground. Our catchments are based on real walking routes so the shape itself is accurate. Hope this helps!
@ganeshbabudotme @ErrikB @Enschede669 (2/2) So by the time of traveller gets to Zuid, there isn't enough time to continue the journey for long enough to draw a shape. Try extending your max time slightly and it should cover it!
@ganeshbabudotme @ErrikB @Enschede669 (1/2) We have a minimum shape area that needs to be covered before a disconnected island gets drawn (basically to avoid lots of tiny little areas being drawn)
In this case, leaving at 8am on the dot, our route is 14 minutes.
