Have a very nice international women day!

Nothing wrong with cheezyness when it makes someone feel good. So, Gents, go on, get some fine chocolate, or flowers, or a big juicy burger, whatever fits her best.

6 Years ago I wanted to buy a jacket in a local shop but all the maps just highlighted a few corporations.

20 years of internet and thousands of powerfull #European IT companies but our only choice was US 'google-ish' maps favoring US companies.

I thought "If you want to have something done you better do it yourself" and that was the start.

Now there's finally a European map which shows all shops at once.

Give it a share if you like.

We don't want to brag but ok yes we do want to brag a bit that we're just way better at that.

If you like art (like me) and you're having a bored day (like me!) then get yourself a public transport day-ticket and do some gallery hopping.

There's always some areas with a bit more galleries then usual.

Example: Berlin, north area.

This goes also for other stuff, check the Quick menu (blue round button) for suggestions.

Have a great weekend guys. 😊

Here's some stuff we're working on for our online map:

- shareable general search-strings.
- more languages (Italian, Czech, Polish, Norwegian etc)
- a setting for showing/hiding corporate locations
- multiple searches on one map
- PWA support

With some good coffee it's just all the fun.

Saturday night you say? All bars closed and needing a toilet you say?

We've got you covered!

Question:

When you search -for example- clothingshops on our map, we show corporations and chains with a grey dot and a text that we don't support these locations.

What is your opinion on that?

It's not for nothing we're filtering out corporate locations from y/our searchresults, to support local shops.😊

Ever wanted to meet up at a place and then had a complicated conversation to 'where exactly'? (park, metro exit, city center etc)

We have a handy-dandy solution for that. 😊

Click the Meetup button, drag the marker to the exact location to meet up and share the link.

Super easy!

Example: Madrid, plaza del Sol.

Me - Let's get a coffee

Her - Sure, let me check a place *grabs phone*

Me - Ah look, there's a place right here.

Her - Google says the nearest is a Starbucks in only 10 minuts from here..

Me - Nono, there's a place right here.

Her - ..and with Uber it's only 17 minutes! *gasp* Let's go!

Me - You're the worst..

For those who are following #unplugtrump , we have a short list form our ongoing poll with most used applications in the EU (mainly from fediverse users) which has a few non-US substitutes listed. (in the near future we hope they'll outway the US ones!)

Try some out and support the EU at the same time. 😊

Street markets are a great place to find local-made stuff. It goes beyond fruit and veggies, there's clothing, art, jewelery, bags, pastries and way more.

If you're in a big city or just out of town, you can find local markets by typing 'street market' in the searchfield and it will show them all.
