Amenities overlay (nearby places)

Support tier: C

See nearby things you actually care about when living on the road — water taps, laundrettes, gyms, dump points, campsites, supermarkets, and more — directly on the RoamCore map.

What this is

An optional map overlay layer that adds “points of interest” (POIs) around your current location.

The goal is practical: when you’re parked somewhere new, you can answer: - Where’s the nearest water fill? - Is there a laundrette nearby? - Where can I find a quiet overnight spot or a campsite?

What you need

• A working RoamCore Map page (any basemap mode).
• Internet access (at least when fetching POIs).

Optional (future): offline/“cached” POI packs for areas you travel often.

How it works (planned)

RoamCore will fetch POIs from one or more data sources (e.g. OpenStreetMap-based APIs) and render them as an overlay layer on the map.

Design constraints: - Must fail safe (no blank map if the overlay fails) - Must be rate-limited and cache results (to avoid hammering APIs) - Must be user-configurable (categories on/off)

Setup

Not shipped yet.

Troubleshooting

• If the map works but POIs don’t show up, first check if the selected categories are enabled.
• If you see “rate limit” errors, reduce refresh frequency or use cached results.
