AnyMap with Google Maps

Google Maps can be integrated into websites in all kinds of ways.

  1. As shown above, search results can be displayed on a map.
  2. Location can be presented on each page where a map is relevant.
  3. By clicking on a point in a Google Map, users can add location information to stories, photographs and other elements of the site.

Given the flexibility of this tool, this module is fine tuned client-by-client depending on the need.

Usage case

Saskia, an archivist and researcher is looking for a local guide during her travels

Saskia Van Duuren is a single 26 year old archivist and researcher. She likes to see art and go to rock shows. Since she has a couple of weeks before she starts her new job, Saskia decides to go on vacation.

Saskia is going to visit a friend from school in Florence and then wants to travel in Italy on her own for a week or two. She doesn’t just want to do touristy things, she wants a local to show her around. She heard from one of her colleagues about the Mediamatic travel site, so she looks it up and visits the site. When she clicks on guides she is brought to a map with all the guides distributed all over the world. She sees a few people located in Italy. She clicks on the number and zooms in. There are guides in Naples and Rome. Clicking on the dot in Naples, she sees a picture and a tag line about the guide there. The guide looks friendly and fun. She clicks on the picture and sees more about her and views all her contributions.
Saskia decides to write to her.
