Map may not be displayed when the feed has errors

Open richfab opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

What is the issue and why is it an issue?

When using the visualization tool on a random feed (Nextbike UsedomRad Germany from systems.csv#L184), I noticed that it fails to display the map:

https://gbfs-validator.netlify.app/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgbfs.nextbike.net%2Fmaps%2Fgbfs%2Fv2%2Fnextbike_ur%2Fgbfs.json

Maybe the map fails to display because the feed contains errors (the validation report of this feed shows 447 errors).

The problem is that users may think that the visualization tool is broken.

Please describe some potential solutions you have considered (even if they aren’t related to GBFS).

A potential solution could be to display a message suggesting to check the validation report when the map cannot be displayed.
