Food videos, turned into maps

Where are we eating?

Bitewalk takes a YouTube food video and puts every restaurant, stall, bakery and bar it visits on one map. Each stop is linked to the moment it appears, checked on Google Maps and grouped into short walks.

Every place in the video, checked on Google Maps and grouped into walks.

How it works

From a video to a walk, without the rewinding.

You paste one link. Bitewalk does the pausing, the note-taking and the searching for you.

  1. 01

    Reading the video

    We read the title, description and chapters, where creators name the places they visit.

  2. 02

    Finding places

    Every restaurant, stall and bar is picked out with the timestamp it appears at.

  3. 03

    Checking Google Maps

    Each one is matched to a real place. Anything we aren’t sure about goes to review instead of on the map.

  4. 04

    Grouping into walks

    Stops close together become walks that open as walking directions in Google Maps.

Why Bitewalk

Stop rewatching. Start walking.

The video made you hungry. Bitewalk keeps the creator, the dish, the moment and the real address together, so you can go.

Watch the moment, not the whole video

The video, the map and the list share one clock. Tap a pin and the video jumps to it; play the video and the map follows along.

Real places, checked

Every stop is matched on Google Maps, with its address and whether it’s still open. Unclear ones wait in review rather than send you to the wrong door.

Walks, not a list of pins

Stops are grouped by neighbourhood into short walks. One tap opens the route as walking directions in Google Maps.

Questions

Good to know

Which videos work best?

YouTube food and travel videos that name the places they visit in the description or the chapters. Videos that list their spots with timestamps map best.

Where does the place information come from?

Places are matched on Google Maps, so names, addresses and opening status are Google’s. The video and thumbnails come from YouTube. We don’t show review photos or star ratings: the creator is the review.

What does “in review” mean?

If we can’t be sure which real place a video meant, the stop is held back for a person to check instead of being pinned in the wrong spot. It shows in the list, not on the map.

What’s a walk?

A group of stops in the same neighbourhood, in a sensible order. “Open walk” hands the route to Google Maps as walking directions.

Do I need an account?

No. Search, browse and paste a link without signing up.
