This is an awesome feature idea. I’m moving to Brno at the end of July and it is not easy to find out about the different parts of town. Thanks!

I’m so glad you find the series awesome. I’ve never experienced moving to another town or counry in my life, so if you have any feature requests, I would love to hear about it.
