  • INTRODUCTION
    Welcome to Maperia, where we're redefining how we navigate our world and access critical healthcare services. With an emphasis on real-time location data and seamless integration with emergency response systems, Maperia is poised to make a significant impact on both everyday navigation and emergency situations.

  • FEATURES

  1. Interactive Mapping:
    With Maperia, users can effortlessly add, delete, update, and view locations on highly interactive maps.
    The interface is intuitive, allowing users to easily navigate and manage location data.
    Indoor Positioning System (IPS):
    Maperia goes beyond outdoor navigation by incorporating an IPS, enabling users to accurately pinpoint indoor locations within campuses, buildings, or large indoor spaces.
    This feature is invaluable for emergency responders, facility management teams, and individuals navigating complex indoor environments.

  2. Unique Location Codes:
    Each location registered in Maperia is assigned a unique code, providing a quick and efficient means of reference during emergencies or for law enforcement.
    These codes streamline navigation, ensuring that help can be directed precisely to the needed location, saving crucial time in critical situations.

  3. Healthcare Integration:
    In the event of an emergency, Maperia suggests the nearest hospitals with available beds, facilitating prompt medical assistance.
    Additionally, Maperia assists users in accessing required medication by locating nearby pharmacies with the necessary supplies, ensuring access to critical resources during emergencies.

  4. Community Contribution:
    Maperia fosters community involvement by allowing users to contribute to the map database.
    Whether updating existing locations, adding new ones, or providing feedback, community contributions play a vital role in keeping Maperia accurate and up-to-date.

  • Technologies Used:
  1. Leaflet.js: Dynamic mapping library for interactive maps.
  2. OpenStreetMap: Collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world.
  3. MongoDB: NoSQL database for storing location data.
  4. Node.js: JavaScript runtime for server-side development.
  5. Vite React: Lightning-fast React development environment.
  6. Express.js: Web application framework for Node.js.
  • Advantages:

Streamlined navigation: Maperia simplifies navigation both outdoors and indoors.
Quick emergency response: Unique location codes and healthcare integration ensure rapid assistance during emergencies.
Community-driven: Maperia thrives on community contributions, making it more accurate and useful over time.
