Object of this thesis is the study of Marker Clusterer v3 utility library of Google Maps API and its use for the development of a web application for rating venues in the geographical area of Greece.
Users of the application can discover new places of entertainment in various regions of Greece, seeing reviews from other users and discovering the new trends for the most popular places in their area. Moreover, they have the opportunity to rate the venues that they have visited, contributing thereby to the community that uses the application. Moreover, this application enables venue owners, such as cafes or restaurants, to advertise their business to users of the application.
However, this application is not just a website of information and advertising, but uses Google Maps to visualize how different shops correlate with each other. By using Marker Clusterer utility library, the users can depict the number of options they have for a specific area of interest on the map. Furthermore, they have the choice of displaying the average ratings for all of the entertainment places of an area, in order to discover new locations, where the venues with the best user ratings are located.
