Does Loki Mobile power the 'Find Me' in the brightkite iPhone app?
Your blog post says that brightkite uses Mozilla Geode or Loki (depending on browser) for the "Guess My Location". What are you using in the iPhone app? Loki Mobile? Something else? Curious.
Btw, brightkite is awesome!! Thanks!

Inappropriate?Hi misaltas, we actually use the iPhone's Core Location framework in the iPhone app. Glad you're liking Brightkite!

Inappropriate?Thanks Lesley:
I really appreciate the reply, thanks! :-)
But I'm seeing two steps here. The Core Location framework helps handle figuring out the lat/long of where you are. I get that, and can see that in the iPhone SDK docs.
But what I'm not seeing is the reverse geocoding step. Meaning, at some point the lat/long has to be compared to the street data to interpolate the street address where you are.
Is that second step what you're using Loki for, or are you using Core Location for that too and I'm just not seeing it anywhere in the SDK doc?
Thanks again so much for your time. I need to document a workflow process and this is a piece of info I need so that users know more about the data being used.
