Our map in a nutshell:
- we're fully EU.
- all searched locations (f.e. clothingshops) are shown at once, no hiding of smaller shops.
- corporations/chains are noted with a grey dot, to raise awareness.
- no cookies, data or whatsoever.
If you like the idea, give it a try and a share. 😊
There, we just want to make sure people know what we stand for.
Have a great sunday!
We just like to support the european economy, by offering a place on our map for ALL shops, regardless of advertising budget.
Not just selecting the biggest one on top, hiding the smaller 99%, like corporate maps do.
Like, everybody is welcome, and should be able to be found directly in a relevent search.
That's what we do.
Lokjo does more then 'dondee eesta al banhooo'.

Need some time to relax? Check out a library, there's many.
Example: Berlin

Geocoding is ridiculously hard to code.
For example 'Paris' should list the streetname in your area, but also the city in france.
With current settings, it's either world-wide OR local.
We have an idea to fix this:
When searching, use the 'proximity' function and list local places, BUT leave the first result open for world-wide locations.
It's just a brainfart, but we might get this done to hugely improve our search-function. 😊
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.
Seriously, when you have a bored day and live in a city then do this.

Attached: 1 image 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. https://www.lokjo.com/#m=16:52.52844:13.40373:s=037 This goes also for other stuff, check the Quick menu (blue round button) for suggestions. Have a great weekend guys. 😊 #galleries #berlin #weekend #galleriehopping #saturday #sunday #imbored #art #CreativeToots #inspiration
