About

Portolan is an interactive world map that visualizes global connectivity by air, ferry, and rail. Users can select any origin point and see the entire globe color-coded based on how many travel hops it takes to reach each territory. It provides a unique way to understand and explore global travel accessibility.

Problem

It's hard to intuitively understand how connected or remote any place in the world is from a given starting point.

For

travelers, geographers, and curious explorers

How it works

Users pick an origin location and the map color-codes every territory on the globe by number of travel hops required via air, ferry, or rail.
