Toilets, street food and surge spots, pinned by drivers

Around Me is a map of the places other drivers have marked: the public toilet that is open late, the street food worth the detour, the corner where demand picks up. Tap a pin, read the card, and add your own.

Around Me in RyeDC: a map of Melbourne with pins for toilets, street food and surge spots
  • Public toilets

    The ones a driver can actually use: open at the hour you need, with somewhere to stop.

  • Street food

    A quick meal between trips, marked by the drivers who eat there.

  • Surge locations

    The spots where demand picks up, as drivers have found them.

Cards you can answer

Every card carries a few short questions: is it open, is it clean, is parking easy, is it female-friendly, is there a driver discount. Each driver gets one thumbs up or thumbs down on each, and the next driver has a better idea before they pull in.

Tap the card's address to be driven there. An iPhone with Google Maps installed asks which maps app to open; otherwise the phone's own maps app does.

Adding a place

Tap + where you are standing, choose a type, give the place a name and save. The card is pinned at your exact position and other drivers are sent to that spot, which is why adding one needs precise location. A card you added has Delete in its menu. A card someone else added cannot be changed from the app; email hello@ryedc.com about one that is wrong.

The map opens without location

Around Me opens whether or not you have granted location. Without it, the map starts at world view and a strip across the top offers to fix that. Precise location is asked for only when you add a card.

Around Me is here for the drivers who use RyeDC between Uber, DiDi and Lyft trips. RyeDC is not affiliated with any of them. More in the Help: Around Me.
