Dieses wochenende in Berlin!
This weekend is gallery weekend in Berlin. On their website you can see which galleries take part. (only 55?)
https://www.gallery-weekend-berlin.de
Of course we have most galleries allready on our map, incuding way more. 
Just search for 'galleries', oder 'galerien' auf der deutsche version.
Just to have this out, our map is not using any AI.
And the suggestion buttons are not individually sponsored locations, like on other maps, but 'themes', showing all locations in your area which fit that theme.
I like it like that.
Thanks so much for all your sharing of our yesterday's post

We made it to the Explore tab, and -being a competitor of big media- I don't think we could've done this on corporate social media.
Keep it going and have a great eastern!
Last year our account went down and we're missing a lot of followers to get back to at least the 500 mark.
A little share would be amazeballs, thanks.
p.s. We're a fully european online map, supporting local shops, see more in the description of our account.
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.
Need some time to relax? Check out a library, there's many.

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.

I couldn't agree more. 
Did you notice when visiting our map there's no cooky-popup?
Excactly.
If you're looking for a googlemaps replacement, try out Lokjo. They're non-corporate, non-comercial, focus on local shops and are fully european.
They're on fedi too.
Ever wanted to meet up at a place and then had a complicated conversation to 'where exactly'? (park, metro exit, city center etc)
We have a handy-dandy solution for that.
Click the Meetup button, drag the marker to the exact location to meet up and share the link.
Super easy!
Example: Madrid, plaza del Sol.
