I want to see if I can get a spark of the “old internet” back by making a starting page for myself with all kinds of cool websites. But not sure where to start because Google obviously will not work for this.

So… what are some of your favourite websites?

    https://wikimapia.org/

    It’s a map site that helps you identify places around the world. Google maps is so commerce-focussed, Open Street Map often lacks an explanation of what something is.

    But it clearly has issues such as not licensing the background options so it has watermarks and popups.

    Opentripmap.com is similar, but is probably just OSM data.

    Wikimapia is great for “what’s that wierd marking in the desert”-type questions.
