Nestoria is an example of the use of the Google Maps API to localize the real estate on the map and the Yahoo User Interface Library as well as the OpenStreetMap. In addition, Nestoria works with collaborative projects such as OpenStreetMap or the web-based Geograph British Isles project. Other functions of the website include widgets and a Facebook application.
