Map Affairs - GIS service placement and search of personal orders

The idea that formed the basis of this service is simple and, we hope, will be in demand by the Internet masses. In short, the essence is as follows. This project helps people to quickly find assistants: teachers, nannies, promoters, couriers, laborers and other professionals who are ready to help you in your urgent (or not so) business for a fee.

A couple of examples

Imagine you need to fix the plumbing, and you will not wait for a plumber from a housing and utilities infrastructure. What are the alternatives? Search locksmith through Yandex / Google?



Better this way:



')

However, we do not change the plumbing every day.

Simpler example

You woke up on Saturday and found the last bottle of beer in the fridge ... opened it pshshsh ... and understood ... well, you will not go into the street a couple of hours after yesterday, but you would need to buy something else, since in the above-mentioned refrigerator the mouse hung itself.



You can suffer, but you can:





It's simple: open the website www.karta-del.ru , find your house on the map, create the ad “I want a beer”. A student from the next entrance sees your “beer” point on the map and thinks: “I also need to buy cigarettes, and at the same time I will earn 200 rubles, than just walking like that.”



And your beer goes to you by itself!

The truth is not the fact that there is a plumber right away, but such cases do not like haste.



In general, the service is made so that even grandmothers can use it: a simple search on the map, filtering by tags, irrelevant tasks are deleted from the map by statute of limitations. Integration with social networks makes it easy to manage your assignments.

Finally, a little about the technical side of the project.

• The server part works on PHP + MySQL
• JavaScript libraries: jQuery (+ plugins), jQuery UI
• Clustering tags on the map: Yandex.Maps Clusterer v1.0 , with some of its modifications to color cluster differentiation according to the type of prevailing instructions
• Authorization through social. networks - uLogin . Since this widget does not allow changing icons ( more here ), it also had to be “tuned” a little.
• AddThis Like Buttons

The service is still in beta testing. Therefore, suggestions for improvement / improvement are accepted with pleasure, and bug reports are warmly welcome.
