Platial: map your places in seconds
I ran across Platial thanks to O’Reilly. What an easy way to create a map of places you care about and put it on your website. I’m trying to make a trip to Portland for fun and business this month. I’m considering taking my bike and hitting all the hotspots on two wheels, so I was curious to see how far apart everything was. Visualizing them on a google map made a lot of sense to me, but I didn’t know how best to get all the addresses on one map without a bunch of work. Platial made it drop-dead easy. 10 minutes to create this, from registering to including in this post.
Really nice work. If you want me to bike by your place when I’m in Portland, let me know!
