About

Photo Hack Day 4 project, http://letsgo.io (2013)

We used new technologies to build a great experience within 24 hours of hacking. We used many APIs and Data Sciences to find the most interesting beautiful photos to show you from any location to some destination.

It renders the best possible directions and around those directions it places photo pins to showcase the beautiful interesting spots around that area. You can alter your trip so you can visit that one place.
