Touchpad
What it is
Touchpad shows you the chat, news and maps within a few kilometres of where you're standing. Set a radius, and everything you see is filtered to it — nothing from the other side of the country.
You don't need an account to look. Open the site and you're already in: the map centres on you, the feed fills with what's nearby. Signing in is only needed when you want to add something yourself.
What you can do
Local chat
Talk to whoever is inside your radius, live.
Neighbourhood news
Posts and alerts pinned to the place they're about.
Collaborative maps
Draw markers, routes and areas, and share them.
Radius filtering
One slider decides how far your world extends.
About your location
Your position is rounded to roughly a kilometre before it's stored, and it's kept in your browser rather than on your account. If you'd rather not share it at all, we approximate from your connection instead — the app still works. See the privacy policy for the details.
