When I was van dwelling around the US I was blown away at how inviting NYC was for van living. I was expecting it to be the hardest place in the US due to density, but it was one of the easiest.

First spot I checked was a dead end street next to a warehouse in Williamsburg. Backing onto the Hudson. Beautiful Manhattan views. A park on one side, and another a block down with a bathroom. And immediately fell into a community of about 10 others do the same thing.

Amazing.

This is the kind of app that serves well for van living, tho I rarely couldn’t find something.

I want to make an app for van life in the future.

This was the most useful app I found: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/ioverlander/id894352689

- offline first (tho the background map didn’t work, but the items on the map were there which was more critical) - wiki style info, so it was usually accurate

Built off OSM maps, and I think data entered into it was fed back to OSM. Tho that portion was vague.

Let me know if you make something.
