Post cool places on wayfaring.com

Vani Rangachar Los Angeles Times

You just found a cool spot on your travels, and want to share it with the world?

One way is through the Web site www.wayfaring.com.

What’s hot: The site works with Google maps, and users can plot their favorite places on the maps with photos and notes.

Want to know where libraries are in L.A.? Nightclubs in San Francisco? One of the better maps was “Stockholm, Sweden: A Frequent Visitor’s Spots,” by jnash.

What’s not: The maps are only as good as the users who upload the information, and the details can be spotty or just plain wrong. I called up a map of Shanghai and got San Francisco instead.
