Know Before you Go

The story with KnowGo begins with two dude friends that traveled a good bit for work and leisure with their families. Whenever visiting new places their primary concern was always, “what’s this place like? Is it nice, okay, or should I use caution?” Between us, we couldn’t count the number of times we’d hopped off the highway only to hop right back on after deciding that the exit was too “sketchy.” Or how many Airbnbs looked good online but ended up being in questionable areas of town. Turns out we weren’t alone and after speaking with several people we realized that everyone has their own unique way of answering that very question; Google, Trip Advisor, Yelp, calling a friend. In conclusion, the solution is typically subjective and crowdsourced. KnowGo Maps brings all of that together by crowdsourcing area ratings from the people that live in or have visited an area. It’s visual, it’s easy. Give feedback, and receive value, that’s the best way to get an average of human input. The world is our tapestry, let’s paint.
