Toobmap
liveAn interactive map that follows along with travel videos on YouTube.
Follow the places in a video without pausing to look them up. The web app is live; the browser extension is still in development.
How I built it: Toobmap
Toobmap reads video metadata and captions to identify places and match them to the video timeline. The web app and browser extension share the same location pipeline. The extension adds a map to YouTube’s sidebar.
- I replaced rule-based place extraction after finding too many exceptions across videos
- Coordinates from metadata appear first. An LLM refines the locations in the background
- Captions connect locations to timestamps, with chapter markers as a fallback
