awesome. i can see future iterations of this becoming really useful.

e.g. "i'm traveling to Tokyo this summer, show me good areas to live in if i want to run 10k every day through nature, as well as work out of highly rated cafes.".

i want to see good areas highlighted on the map. and even better would be integrating with Airbnb / Yelp / Google business ratings, etc. to show places i can rent in those areas.

another e.g. "best times to land in XYZ city if i want to avoid traffic getting to ABC". - to check this now i have to toggle some dropdowns in Google maps. natural language is a much better "interface" for most of what i want to do with maps.

also, "Godview" reminds me of that internal map that Uber had with realtime activity. inspiration?
Just re-used a domain name, fyi "godview" is not exclusive to Uber, it's used mostly for internal tools with super-admin privileges. I'm not 100% certain if it comes from Uber originally because I remember using it internally in early 2010s before the Uber incident.
gotcha. regardless, awesome project. all the best!
