This map can be compared to a business directory. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>For targeted searches<\/strong>, the offers can be filtered, both by specific terms and by location, including the desired search radius. In addition, the results can be sorted, e.g. alphabetically or by distance to location. With just one click on the compass symbol you will get a route description to the desired provider. If you want to send individual offers to friends, you can click on the share symbol to open a specific link to the open map and the desired marker.   <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Communities can <strong>have<\/strong> their own maps<\/strong> on which only their members are visible. Since the markers are the same as those with which you can be displayed on the marketplace, it is sufficient for each person to only receive their personal marker and information once, instead of registering separately for each project and providing their information. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Everyone gets their own map for the marker.<\/strong> This card shows the user&#8217;s contacts and their network, comparable to a personal address book. By this function, one can show recommendations and trust in the form of so-called sponsorships. So you stand up for each other, unlike in an anonymous business directory where everyone stands up for themselves.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Any questions?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/edit.markermap.net\/en\/coordinators\/\">Contact a coordinator.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Understood?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/edit.markermap.net\/en\/entry\/\">Register here.<\/a><strong> <\/strong>Or contact an <a href=\"https:\/\/edit.markermap.net\/en\/admins\/\">admin of your choice.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#990000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Market Place<\/mark><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/edit.markermap.net\/en\/market-place\/\">Here you will find<\/a> offers from all users and their projects for self-determined coexistence.

What makes us special are our customised maps for projects and topics, which can be combined with others as required. To do this, the desired maps are added as layers to your own map. This allows you to enrich your map with additional maps and the markers linked to them. On the marketplace, for example, the various categories such as actors, networkers and projects are integrated as maps. These can be shown or hidden by the visitor.     <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#990000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Decentralized network<\/mark><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>Our markers and maps are currently managed centrally on a server by a team of admin.

For now, we are happy to be able to start networking with this tool now. We organise the backup of the markers and maps decentrally. To this end, we are making the <a href=\"https:\/\/datenbank.markermap.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">database<\/a> publicly available for download.    <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#990000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Our vision<\/mark><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>We would like to have an app with which everyone can create their own markers and maps and have their markers displayed on the maps of other participants. This still needs to be found or programmed.
