Re: [Fofredux-devel] View modifications

[Andrew T. <ajt...@hi...>]

Sorry that I just got to this - I'm on travel at my brother's wedding.

So the mapping is using geographic information that may be embedded in
a feed and displaying it on a map. For example, if you had a feed of
Sporting events that included where they were being played, weather in
an area that would map where the prediction is (rain here, sunny
there), and can be applied to a LOT of data that has a spatial
context.

The idea would be first to just include a map, and a sidebar listing
of feeds that contained geo-items. THe user could turn on and off
various feeds to overlay the data. THey may also want to use the icon
of the feed to use as the markers on the map.

Look at:

ear=3Dyes
http://wayfaring.com
http://www.tucsonlocator.com/ed.asp?cmd=3Dstartmap

I can send more - but this should be a good start as to what works and
what doesn't work. It should be rather simple.

Where are you traveling in the US?
