Netryx launches free NYC geolocation demo
Netryx now offers a free browser demo that geolocates street-level photos inside a 10km New York grid, so non-technical users can try the same MegaLoc V2 + MASt3R pipeline without installing anything. The demo is credit-limited because each search burns GPU time, while the open-source project still supports self-hosted indexes for any city.
Good move: Netryx is turning a compute-heavy OSINT engine into a browser demo, which removes the install tax that usually kills open-source vision tools. The narrow NYC scope keeps the experience honest, but it also makes clear the product's real future depends on shared indexes and sensible cost controls. The desktop-first workflow suggests this is optimized for deliberate uploads and map review rather than casual mobile use. The 10km New York boundary and GPU credit caps are sensible guardrails, but they make the public version more of a curated showcase. The self-hosted repo and shareable city indexes are the real scaling story; preprocessing once and reusing it is the only sane way to broaden coverage. The strongest use cases are OSINT, journalism, fraud checks, and evidence review, but the same capability raises privacy and dual-use concerns.
