maNOWj GeoIntel

A map that answers questions about a place. Pick a point anywhere in the world and ask what is there, how many hospitals are within five kilometres, what the weather is doing, or how to get there. Every answer shows the source it came from and the date it applies to.

What you can do

• Count hospitals, schools, shops, ATMs and other places within a radius of any point.
• Get directions and live turn-by-turn navigation.
• See weather, air quality and rain radar for a location.
• Look up population, area and density, always with the census year attached.
• Switch to satellite view or 3D buildings, and see when the satellite image was taken.
• Measure a distance, or draw a shape to measure an area.
• Play maNOWj Daily: five satellite views a day, guess where each one is.

Where the data comes from

OpenStreetMap and Nominatim for places and addresses, Overpass for map features, OSRM for routing, Open-Meteo for weather and air quality, USGS for earthquakes, Wikidata for population, and Esri and NASA for satellite imagery. Nothing is estimated: where a source has no figure, the app says so instead of guessing.

Who built it

maNOWj GeoIntel was designed and built by Manoj Kumar Gudla. This is the part that actually makes the name findable: a search engine indexes words people can read on the page, which is why it is written here in the open rather than hidden in a tag.

It is free, needs no sign-up, and does not track you. The map itself needs JavaScript, so please enable it to use the app.
