Suggestion: Multiple categories for places

Asked by Thorsten Huber

Hello openMarkers-Team,

first of all I wanna say that I love your work and appreciate evry cumminity based and free applications! Nice1.

While I added my first favorite place I missed the option to add multiple categories to this place like Bar, Hotel, Café, IceCream, Restaurant and finally the non-existend-category "Public Viewing". Most of businesses have multiple services, so this is really an important feature.

With "public viewing" I tried to describe any option of viewing sport events or similar events the visitors are interested. In this case it is a Sky-Pay-TV service. Maybe there is more space for creative categorizing.

Cya,
Thorsten

Hi -again- :)

About your idea, you can add multiple places of different businesses just in the same location.
By example, an hotel has beds too, then it's an hostel too. You can add 2 markers in the same place, one hotel and one hostel.
Could be this fix your issue? Any suggestion about it? :)

Categories like "Public Viewing" is a base problem for openMarkers :P openMarkers try cover 'general' travel businesses. By example, in USA are "motels", but in Europe not. Create the motels category could be confused when you're adding a place. Then we preffer the just categories for all the world :)
If the project grow a lot in the future, I think your idea will be great.

Thank you very much for your enthusiasm! :)
Cheers!

Can you help with this problem?
