#30DayMapChallenge Day 4 — Clusters 🚲 Where can you find a place to park your bike? RackFinder turns crowdsourced OpenStreetMap (OSM) data into an interactive map of bicycle racks, built with Mapbox. By clustering nearby bike racks, the app makes it easier to explore available parking locations without overwhelming the map with individual points. As users zoom in, clusters reveal more detailed locations. Even better, users can contribute missing bike racks directly to OSM, helping improve the map for everyone. Explore the map and see how developers can turn crowdsourced location data into useful, community-powered experiences: rackfinder.app/#/ #BuiltWithMapbox #30DayMapChallenge #OpenStreetMap #MapboxGLJS

🌟 Get true reachability calculations with the Isochrones API. This API calculates the area you can reach from an origin point within a set amount of time — but unlike a radius, it accounts for actual road network travel times ➡️ goo.gle/3RnkOp2
