Maperia is a local search site for Poland. Maperia uses Google Maps to help users search for local businesses. Users can also use Maperia to upload photos and movies and comment on locations.
To search for a local business users can enter a category, e.g. 'restaurants', and a location. The results of a search are then returned on the map. If you click on the map marker of any of the returned results its details are loaded in the map sidebar.
Quick links are provided at the top of the map to users' saved 'Locations', 'Photos', and 'city maps'.
