This is so cool! I'm in a motorcycle somewhere in Oklahoma. I tried the Talkie but it didn't work, all the sound got very low pitched. Will try in something besides firefox later when I reach my first landmark.

Has anybody figured out how to take pictures yet?

I'm traveling at about 1 mile per minute in the motorcycle, so 60MPH. Is there a speedometer or fuel readout?

Thank you!

It takes pictures automatically as you progress. For the current speed you can check the "vehicle" application. There is no fuel data, but you can read tailpipe CO2 emissions in "metrics".

Thank you :)

- Are there any goals, high scores, etc?

- I noticed there is a meter showing what % I've explored and I'm curious if that is for the current route or the total number of drive-able routes, or if it corresponds to an achievement.

- Is there a way to know when I'm near other drivers who can hear my talkie or should I just give a holler and see who can hear me?

- How often does the camera take pics? I've gone 11 miles and it still says I haven't taken any pictures.

It is intentionally goal-less: there is no end, no achievements, you just explore.

The total for exploration percent is the US highway mileage according to the Federal Highway Administration, many many miles.

That's a good idea to indicate drivers nearby, let's see what I can do. Thanks!

You should have new pics every few miles, like 3 or 5. Perhaps traffic is limited, experiencing HN effect at the moment. Try to reload the page.

As another data point for you, I've travelled 71 miles so far with no photos taken yet. Firefox 106.0b9, various ad-blockers installed.

I'm seeing another possible bug, or maybe I just misunderstand what is happening. If I refresh the page everything is silent and the vehicle is moving, which seems fine. The vehicle window however has a button labelled "resume". When I click that the button disappears, nothing obvious seems to happen other than static starts coming out my speakers. There doesn't seem to be any way to stop the static other than refresh the page. Is that expected?

The classified are probably my favourite part, some of them are hilarious!

No photos might be caused by the Facebook Container extension - I'm seeing the same and I think that's what's happening for me.

Awesome I really like the aimless nature of it. I'll give it a shot and see if I gather pictures as I pass through other areas. Thanks again for building this. What's the best way for us to help or reward you? Do you have a github sponsor thing set up?

your site here remins me of this flash designer called cymru i think, who had a very similar layout with a little grey alien who'd morph into different poses when you interacted with the screen. https://the389.net/8/1/
