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, until now, in all such programs, real-time mode has not been implemented, except, probably, Google latitude, which is practically not widespread in Russia. Maptrix's new free geolocation app fills this gap by offering unique features to its users.
Let’s see what makes Maptrix similar to other similar applications, and what distinguishes it from analogues.
Common features of Maptrix and similar applications:
- maps and fixing your location on them,
- the possibility of an advanced search by institution,
- the ability to leave and read reviews, leave and view photos, give ratings to various institutions and institutions,
- the ability to register in certain institutions or institutions, signaling their own presence there,
- synchronization with certain social networks, as well as the ability to add contacts from the telephone directory.
Maptrix does not 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 employee control, in which the “tracking” 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).
Maptrix is the first application that combines the familiar features of a geolocation service and real-time communication through chat.
Yes, all the popular geolocation applications (Foursquare, AlterGeo, Google latitude, Apple find friends) allow their users to leave feedback and comments on various institutions and establishments, and this can be considered mediated communication.
However, only in Maptrix do 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 either personal (messaging with a person) or group (chatting in the chat of any institution).
Maptrix is the first application that makes it possible to combine all the popular social networks in Russia in one service. Optimize the space of your gadget by connecting all your social accounts with a single thread of the geolocation application.
Similar services are more selective in this sense. Google latitude is tied to Google+. Foursquare only syncs with Facebook and Twitter. AlterGeo also works with the VKontakte network. But only Maptrix supplements this “gentleman's set” with the extremely popular social network Odnoklassniki in Russia and the fairly widespread My World network.
Maptrix has an open friend policy. All your friends from social networks who installed the application are already there - in Maptrix.
Of course, Foursquare or AlterGeo will also automatically find your friends from social networks. However, in order to "make friends" 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, become “invisible” for a certain circle of people. In Maptrix, this is possible.
Other similar applications also provide an opportunity to find out where your friends are right now, thanks to the so-called “checkin” (when a person is “marked” in a particular institution). Maptrix provides a similar opportunity to “check in”. However, he, unlike analogues, allows you to track the movement of people in space and without the “check-in”. The program determines the coordinates using gps, as well as from 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 the most diverse movements of your friends.
To all of the above pluses, it remains to add only a pleasant and absolutely understandable, simple interface, which any blond will figure out in five minutes.
