Have you considered to supply the map with a time line, som you can browse in time+map? (If I could get a short answer conserning this idea, that would be great)
I'd like to see an additional map: area view to zoom in on local friends without trying to "aim" google maps. I am lucky enough to have friends all over the US but most of the time I want to use the map to see those within 10 to 20 miles of my current location. Since the map now defaults to the entire country, I end up spending lots of time zooming in on the Chicago area. This takes enough time that I am beginning to avoid the map all together.
Thanks for considering it!
There's gotta be a better way to check in on your location on your mobile phone. I'm just using brightkite since yesterday. Today I went out on a local bike path and took a picture that I wanted to post. I could not search for this because it wasn't an address. I searched for the name of the trail, but that didn't work.
My thought is that there should either be some integration between brightkite and an internal gps receiver if available, or at least some way to access latlong coordinates through a more dynamic mapping tool, either via mobile browser or via the mobile version of Google maps. Optimally, I'd like to just bring up a map, zoom into my exact location, hit my screen to put a pin down, then have options to check in, placemark, post photo, etc. The current interface seems awfully clunky unless you are only using it to locate yourself at specific street addresses.
will we be able to edit our past posts in the future? with the number of methods to check in and post, sometimes conflicts occur, errors are made, and unintended posts happen.
We recently added my company to Google local in the hopes that it would then be available to check in with the "Name (Address)" format in Brightkite.
Am I wrong in assuming this is where that data comes from? How can I make this happen? I'd like to have the place name in there, rather than just the address.
Maybe I'm missing something, but is there a view that shows all notes on the area map based upon their location? For visiting new cities or checking out new areas of town, this seems to be a very helpful feature for finding out what's nearby (and worth checking out).
PROBLEM: The search by address lookup, as it is now, is too unreliable and many an address returns "location not found"--frustrating this user and turning off many other less determined (I would imagine).
SOLUTION: One could resolve this issue by eliminating a sole reliance on the address/location database by allowing users to either: (1) right click a location on the map view (like the pushpin in many map applications) to create placemarks that can be reused and or (2) allowing for latitude and longtidude lookup.
