New geolocation service Maptrix: feel the difference

Geolocation services are no longer a novelty or a wonder of the mobile application market. For users of modern gadgets - phones, smartphones, tablets - this is already a familiar service that allows you to quickly and conveniently search for information about institutions, institutions and companies.

However, to date, all such programs have not implemented a real-time mode, except, perhaps, Google latitude, which is practically not common in Russia. The new free geolocation Maptrix application fills this gap, offering unique features to its users.

Let us examine what makes Maptrix related to other similar applications, and what distinguishes it from its analogs.

Common features of Maptrix and similar applications:
- maps and fixing your location on them,
- the possibility of an extended search by institutions,
- the ability to leave and read reviews, leave and view photos, give ratings to various institutions and institutions,
- the possibility to be noted in certain institutions or institutions, signaling about their own presence there,
- synchronization with various social networks, as well as the ability to add contacts from the telephone directory.

Cons Maptrix in comparison with similar applications

Maptrix does not create a route from point A to point B and does not show traffic jams on the map, as Google latitude does, for example.

Maptrix does not provide for parental control or control over employees in which the “shadowing” object does not have the ability to go into “invisible mode.” A similar function is implemented, for example, in Footprints (although this application is paid).

Advantages of Maptrix in comparison with similar applications

Advantage one: communication

Maptrix is ​​the first application that combines the usual features of geolocation service and real-time communication via chat.
Yes, all popular geolocation applications (Foursquare, AlterGeo, Google latitude, Apple find friends) enable their users to leave feedback and comments to various institutions and establishments, and this can be considered mediated by communication.
However, only in Maptrix you have the opportunity to start a conversation with any of the users of the application (both familiar and unfamiliar) here and now. This communication can be both personal (messaging with a person) and group (communication in the chat of any institution).

Advantage Two: Versatility

Maptrix is ​​the first application that allows you to combine all the popular social networks in Russia in one service. Optimize your gadget space by connecting all your social accounts with a single thread of geolocation application.
Similar services are more selective in this sense. Google latitude is tied to Google+. Foursquare syncs only with Facebook and Twitter. AlterGeo also works with the VKontakte network. But only Maptrix complements this "gentleman's set" with the extremely popular in Russia social network Odnoklassniki and the fairly widespread network My World.

Third advantage: openness

Maptrix has an open friend policy. All your social network friends who installed the app are already there - in Maptrix.
Of course, Foursquare or AlterGeo also automatically find your friends from social networks. However, in order to “re-connect” with them again within the application, you need to add each friend manually, again sending requests for addition. Maptrix goes the other way: your entire friend list is automatically transferred from the social network to the application.
If not all representatives of this sheet need to know about your movements, make yourself "invisible" for a certain circle of people. In Maptrix this is possible.

Advantage 4: rial time

Other similar applications also make it possible to find out where now, your friends are right now - thanks to the so-called “chekin” (when a person is “celebrated” in a particular institution). A similar opportunity to "celebrate" provides Maptrix. However, he, unlike analogs, allows you to track the movement of people in space and without "chekinov." The program determines the coordinates using gps, as well as the cell towers. With Maptrix, you can see how, for example, your friend drives by tram. Thanks to the advantages of this application, you will be aware of a wide variety of movements of your friends.

To all the above-mentioned advantages, it remains to add only a pleasant and absolutely understandable, simple interface, which any blond will figure out in five minutes.
