Inspiration

Google Maps is powerful, but it offers limited flexibility for personalization. We were inspired to build a platform where users can create customizable maps — tailored with their own markers, styles, themes, and data layers — for personal, business, or event-based use.

What it does

Our project lets users design fully customizable maps with ease. Key features include: Adding custom markers with notes or images Drawing routes or boundaries Applying different themes or color schemes Sharing the map via a unique link

How we built it

We built the application using: Google Maps API for map rendering and geolocation HTML/CSS/JavaScript for frontend UI Firebase for storing user data and custom maps React.js for dynamic component management

Challenges we ran into

ntegrating customization features without compromising usability Managing map state and dynamic data updates Handling Google Maps API limits and pricing models Cross-browser styling issues

Accomplishments that we're proud of

A smooth and intuitive interface for creating personalized maps Implementing a real-time save/load system with Firebase Successfully testing it on multiple use-cases like event planning and delivery maps

What we learned

How to work with complex APIs like Google Maps Real-time data management with Firebase UX/UI best practices for tools that rely heavily on user input Importance of modular and scalable code architecture

What's next for maps

Add collaboration features so teams can work on maps together

Export maps as PDFs or embed into websites

Enable geofencing and route optimization features
