Easymap
EasyMap is a Chrome extension that saves you time when finding directions. Here are the steps,
- 1. Highlight an address on any page
- 2. Right click
- 3. Choose where you want directions from
The plug-in allows the user to save multiple addresses from which directions can then be sought from.
EasyMap was created as part of the annual Facebook Hackathon that is hosted at the University of Waterloo. Every participating team has 24 hours to create a desktop program, game, mobile app or other software creation.
My team – Ronak Shah, Brent Komer, Mark Unger, Shehryar Farooq, and I decided to create something that we ourselves would use, something sleek and simple. We often use Google Maps to find directions, and we wanted to save time. Instead of opening Google Maps every time, copying-pasting the destination address into the search, and then entering the departure address, the app would reduce the user-interaction to three clicks.
