LowMapは、地図からあらゆる「雑音」を取り除いた、超ミニマルな歩行ナビゲーションアプリです。 お店のピン、渋滞情報、複雑な建物表示……。 現代の地図は情報に溢れすぎて、どこを歩けばいいのか見失ってしまいがちです。 LowMapは、あえて地図を「空っぽ」にしました。 【LowMapが提供する「情報のシンプルさ」】 ・情報の引き算: お店や施設などのピンを非表示に。純粋に「道」だけが見える地図。 ・モノクローム表示: 色彩の刺激すら抑えたい時のための、美しい白黒地図モード。 ・カプセルガイド: 画面上部の小さな指示器が、進むべき方向と距離だけを教えてくれます。 目的地は地図を「長押し」するだけ。 LowMapと一緒に、もっとクリアな散歩に出かけましょう。
