MaizeKit on an iPhone: a corn maze on satellite imagery, a blue dot and a blue route to the exit, 408 m away

How it works

From the sign
to your phone.

Most corn mazes post a map at the entrance. That photo is all it takes.

    Fitted to the real field on satellite imagery, every path found.

    Your dot, and the way to the exit from wherever you are.

Under the hood

It learns what corn
looks like.

Every map is different: painted signs, drone shots, sun and shadow. So MaizeKit reads each one on its own terms.

Moore Family Farm's maze as MaizeKit sees it: every path in gold, brighter toward the middle of each path
Moore Family Farm, as the router sees it.
  1. Learn the corn. Most of a maze is corn, so its typical colour is the corn.
  2. Find the paths. Anything clearly different, lighter or darker, is path.
  3. Drop the noise. Gaps too narrow to walk, like the space between rows, are ignored.
  4. Route down the middle. Every route keeps to the centre of the path.
