First of all, while I understand that English may not be your first language, you're going to have to improve your grammar before investors will take you seriously. You post is riddled with errors in punctuation, spacing, and capitalization. To address the content of your pitch, I don't see how your service a good solution to the problem of poor online maps. The problem of not being able to navigate to addresses sounds like a great opportunity for a better standalone mapping service. How are you able to provide better navigation than Google Maps? Presumably you're using something like GPS in place of a street address, but a business could also distribute that to their customers via their website, which could then be used with services like Google Maps.

  Thank you for editing the post. One more grammar note -- there's no space before punctuation marks such as commas and periods.

When deals are made , buyer and seller can see location of each other on the map , so it is easier to do deliveries and in-app chatting.

  It still sounds like it would be more promising to focus the business exclusively on providing a better mapping service. It's hard to build out all of the functionality for a marketplace (including dealing with very hard problems such as fraud), and then also to achieve the necessary network effects. It would be much simpler and more broadly commercializable to provide a better mapping/navigation service. As a potential investor, I would worry that you are trying to solve too many problems at once.
