Mapm is a map making app that allows users to create and moderate curated lists of geographical data points. Think Wikipedia for maps.

This app requires Google Maps and Places API keys. The keys currently in the project are restricted and will not work on other hosts.
- Authorized users are able to make new maps and edit any current maps that exist on the server.
- App name, title and image can be entered for displaying the map in lists.
- To add a new point simply type the name or address of the location.
- The map expands as new points are added.
- To delete a point, find the point in the list and click 'Delete'.
- The map will remove the point and redraw the new bounds.
Mapm was a five day project, but we would like to expand on it when time permits. Some of the features we've considered implementing:
- Full login and authorization - Currently we have a dummy login system with only a couple pre-programmed users.
- Moderation system - Like Wikipedia, our app is open to editing by any registered user. To prevent abuse and misuse of the app, would require a moderation system.
- Map history - Goes hand-in-hand with moderation that changes to the map might need to be rolled back.
- Featured maps - If something is in the headlines, a relevant map on the front page would be useful.
