The informal economy, specifically street vending, serves as a vital pillar of urban subsistence in developing nations. However, these vendors often suffer from a lack of digital presence, which limits their market reach in an increasingly tech-centric society. This paper introduces "Locate My Local," a geospatial web portal designed to provide real-time location visibility for street vendors using Stadia Maps and Leaflet.js. By leveraging HTML5 Geolocation and a responsive JavaScript-driven frontend, the portal enables vendors to broadcast their coordinates dynamically. Our research explores the system architecture, the integration of mapping APIs, and the socio-economic implications of digitizing informal trade. Results demonstrate that the platform maintains high technical performance under concurrent loads, offering a scalable solution for urban digital inclusion.
