If I had unlimited resources and way better skills what would BestQualityCrab be able to do?

Mundane Wishes:

Draggable Markers Sometimes a street address is not enough and a GPS measure isn't available. And sometimes they don't correspond to where you know something should be located.

Mapsearch See the other posts in feedback.

Linked Markers To show routes

In an Ideal World Wishes:

Panoramic Street Views in the map (rather than video files uploaded to the posts).

Map Motivation in which clicking a tag or archived item moves the main map to the place associated with that description.

Map Layering so I can compare maps of the same place at different times for instance.

Map Archiving where clicking on a calendar shows the mapblog at the particular point in time.

Hi Virginia, I would love to know when mapsearching can be done? For me this is a minimum requirement for the site - in my thinking BQC needs to able to be navigated in any of several ways - by time (Recent Posts and Archive); by theme (Topics/TagCloud); by keyword (Search) and most importantly for a mapblog by space (Mapsearch). Let me know what you think... cheers Deb

Deb, Mapsearch IS complicated, and I also think it's unnecessary in the short-term (since you'll only have a handful of posts, and so a search is only about .000001% likely to reveal anything pertinen... [more]

Those elusive markers... ( 0 replies )

This is a weird one - the map marker on home page is located in Granja (where we live) but when you clicked on the marker the secondary (blog) page had a map of somewhere else entirely. Any ideas? Deb

What comes first? ( 1 reply )

Virginia,

It occured to me that one of the reasons why I seem to breaking things might have to do with a slight difference in our conceptualisation of the blog.

I originally imagined that posts would be driven by markers/locations. Create a marker, which expands into text, images (perhaps more than one) or other types of files i.e. one marker per text entry. In using the blog I realise that it has been conceived from the basis that posts (text/images) come first and location markers second….i.e. create/write the post and then locate it (possibly with more than one location marker). Do I have this right? As I say I'm not sure if this is even a problem... Deb

Deb,

You're exactly right about that - we decided that for long-term flexibility, it would be better to allow multiple points to be associated with a single post (so that we can introduce polylines at... [more]
