The Tour: Local Knowledge

Local knowledge is important. Maps and search features help you find things, of course they do. But it's the people who live in an area, who know its ins and outs, who often make the best guides. Little Legends helps you find (or become) one of those guides.

Find it on a map

Maps to show you what's nearby

Here's a real life example from one of our first visitors.

Philippa lives in Wandsworth and wanted to find a good place eat with children.

With the help of the maps on Little Legends, she was able to quickly find several potential venues in her area.

See what people think of it

Read comments others have left

Philippa then narrowed down her selection based on the comments and ratings left by others on each of the venues pages

She looked at the tags and notes people had used when bookmarking the place.

Browse by keyword or "tag"

One place stood out, with high ratings, good feedback, and tags like "relaxing" and "child_friendly", and that's where she took the children.

And discover what else they like

Explore others' favourite places

Out of interest, Philippa had a look at the pages of the people who had bookmarked and commented on her choice.

By skimming through their bookmarks and comments on other places, she gained a "pretty good snapshot" of what they were like.

One in particular, a local in the area, seemed to be a font of good places, and Philippa said she'd be sure to look at her page next time she needed to find something.
