About Floaty Tiles for Google Maps
Floaty Tiles overlays the Uber H3 hexagonal grid on Google Maps.
The Floaty flight-logging app tracks which parts of the world you have flown over using tiles from Uber’s H3 grid system at resolution 8 (hexagons of roughly 0.7 km² each). This extension shows that same grid directly on Google Maps, so you can plan flights and see your conquered tiles in a familiar map.
Features:
- H3 grid overlay on regular Google Maps — pan and zoom as usual, the grid follows
- Adaptive mode picks a resolution automatically (~500 hexagons in view); explicit mode lets you choose exactly which of the 16 H3 resolutions (0–15) to show
- Resolution 8 — Floaty’s tile size — is highlighted in red by default, just like in Floaty; every resolution’s color is configurable
- Import your Floaty ride exports (GPX, JSON or CSV, multiple files at once) to fill every tile you’ve ridden (red) and draw your ride paths — files are processed locally in your browser and never uploaded
- Hover a ride path to highlight it and see its name and date; rename, delete and export your rides as KML (for Google My Maps, or to share with friends)
- Shift-click a resolution-8 tile to mark it as planned (blue) — tiles you still want to ride; riding and importing them turns them red
- Hover any hexagon to see its H3 index; click the badge to copy it
Works on google.com/maps in Chrome, Brave, Edge and other Chromium browsers. No data is collected; settings and filled tiles are stored in your browser only. This is an independent companion tool and is not affiliated with Floaty, Uber, or Google.
