- Address search and displaying the actual coordinates of address
- Advertisement mapping- to check that each advertisement is coordinated with local municipality
- Crime map- where and what type of crimes are more frequent/ less frequent
- Application to help figure childs name- showing the most popular/less popular names of children
- Application for School analysis – srtongest subjects, average final tests results, information about teachers etc. Top schools?
