Telegram Nearby Map Uses OpenStreetMap and official Telegram library to find positions of nearby users.

Please note: Telegram's API updated, making nearby user distances less precise, preventing exact location calculations. Displays nearby users but does not show exact locations.

Inspired by Ahmed's blog post and Hacker News discussion.

Developed by github.com/tejado

How it works: Every 25 seconds receives all nearby users with TDLib from Telegram, including distances of each user to "my" location. With three distances from three different points, calculates position of nearby user. Only finds Telegram users who have activated nearby feature (default deactivated).

Installation: Requires node.js and Telegram account

  1. Create API key for Telegram account
  2. Download repository
  3. Create config.js (see config.example.js) with Telegram API credentials
  4. Install dependencies: npm install
  5. Start app: npm start
  6. Confirm Telegram login in output
  7. Go to http://localhost:3000 and have fun
