Inappropriate?The missing ability to edit the 'location' of a 'post' or a 'place' has come up internally and with a few power users over the years, but so many other issues have simply been much more pressing at any given moment. Personally, I agree that this is very core functionality, but the work around (delete and repost) has been painless enough that hardly anyone really brings it up.
I'm curious about the particular reason you'd like to edit the location: address geocoder wasn't accurate enough? place moved? added by click from too far zoomed out?
Thanks for the feedback! -
Inappropriate?I had to reposition all my locations on a map that I had posted using Nearby on an iTouch. In Safari they seemed to be in the wrong spot (I had placed them manually). So, I had to move them. Not sure if they had actually shifted or if it was too hard to tell where to put them in Nearby.
When adding the new places in Platial in Safari, I did find the "click the map to place a point" function a bit jittery. Firstly, the tool is a "hand", where perhaps it should be a pointer or a cross-hair.
There are 5 digits on a hand and all of them could be where the point goes, or it could go in the middle. Actually, it seemed to go slightly above and to the left of the middle finger. Took a little practice to get that right.
Moving a point would be a very useful feature. When you delete a point you lose any metadata as well. Thats an issue, especially if you expect to extend Platial's metadata capabilities in the future.
Thanks for your reply.
