Credits

Crash search knows city names in many spellings, the landmarks around them and how well known each is thanks to three open datasets.

GeoNames

City names, alternate spellings and populations come from GeoNames, used under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. Crash matches them to its own places and keeps the names travelers type: English names, common abbreviations and names in the country's own languages.

Wikidata

Landmarks and airports, their names and how many Wikipedias write about them come from Wikidata, which is dedicated to the public domain under CC0.

QRank

How often people look a place up comes from QRank by Sascha Brawer, which ranks Wikidata items by their Wikimedia page views over the past year and is dedicated to the public domain under CC0.

Postcard photos

The postcards on the home page are photos from Wikimedia Commons, cropped and color graded by Crash. Each is used under its own license:
