Allow new icons on map

We have a similar map in Argentina. We've identified categories as:

• Wormcaster (someone that gives worms for free or sells them),
• Compost source (someone that sells or shares compost),
• Composters (someone that sells composters)
• Cafe (A cafe that gives away coffee for composting)
• Dry material (someone that identifies a source of, or gives away dry material)

I think including these 5 as other categories and maybe helping people to match by proximity according to their interests can bring the map to life!

Hey @Martinalmina31, thanks for sharing! Great idea. Is this Argentinian map public? I'd love to see it, to get a better idea of how these things are split up (and how people are using it).

Side note: this might help solve #4.

Here's our map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1akoCNAjWN6XPVtCb4O8DG98Z35n1j71n&ll=-34.591459212113584%2C-58.2944427777784&z=11

It's just a plain google map with info on it now.

Here you can see a concept development of what I think would work for matching by proximity: https://biored-delta.vercel.app/

I have a pretty clear vision of what could work for our community. Been in composting for a while now.

Nice one. Buenos Aires is pumping!

We have three main types of map pins on Peels at the moment:

1. Business donors (cafes etc): brown pin
2. Residential hosts (homes with compost bins): yellow pin
3. Community hosts (community gardens etc with compost bins): yellow pin

That's to keep the form simple and map easy to understand.

Given how few pins there are now (<300 worldwide) I think the categories you suggested (wormcaster, dry material, etc) would make more sense later on, when the map becomes full of map pins and filtering is needed. Perhaps residential donors (#4) would be a good first step to at least address folks with worms, dry material, or finished compost to give away.

To get us to that point of a lot of listings: what do you think of me adding language support to Peels, so folks who visit the site in Argentina would see it in Spanish? Do you think there are enough interested people who would make those listings you suggested if it were available in Spanish? Would you be up for helping with translations, perhaps?

HI there! Yes, that would be great! If the map could be read in Spanish, there's a pretty big community in Latin America to use it. I can help with translations, no worries. Martín Almiña +61459322682

Thanks! Discussion for translation moved over to #5 and solved in #55.

I’ll keep this discussion open as it relates more to new map pin categories.

[Martinalmina31]

This: ¨O recolecta, si has llegado a un negocio local con chatarras para regalar.¨ Needs to change for ¨O recolecta, si has contactado un negocio local con restos para regalar¨.

We do need to translate the FAQ right?

[dnywh]

¡Gracias! I will update both that string and the FAQ. Please let me know if you see anything else astray.
