Quite a nice milestone for https://hitchmap.com/ you can now add the exact time of your ride to new spot entries and we got more in the pipeline - if you wanna speed things up you can have a look at https://github.com/bopjesvla/hitch This will benefit every hitchhiker using the map getting more precise information as well as hitchhiking research more broadly.
