Hello community 🙂
We think it’s time to add some data providers to mixare, so that you will be able to enjoy it even more!
The first step is of course to choose which data providers are interesting. We named a few in this thread of our Google Discussion Group.
We are looking forward to hearing from you which one among:
- twitter / identi.ca (status.net) / buzz
- flickr / panoramio
- gowalla / foursquare / brightkite
would be you favourite new data provider in a future update of mixare.
Feel free to vote here with a comment or in the thread!
Of course any further proposal is welcome as well!
bugfixes
* download retries
* GPS fix Nullpointer exceptions
Improvements
* Compass precision: investigation of possible corrections / datasources
* Compass correction by the means of accelerometer readings?
* GPS precision (altitude): investigation of possible corrections / datasources
* GPS precision (overall): integration of DGPS services? WAAS? Other possible services
* Integration with high precision DTM (Digital Terrain Model) and visibility analysis
* Marker display enhancements related to precision and distance
* Additional standardized data-format support (XML based)
* User Interface enhancements: menu support, better feedback to the user
* Warnings in case of issues with data reliability (magnetic field distortions, old/wrong GPS fix). Maybe a diagnostic mode for advanced users?
* Social network integration: twitter with support for login, timeline, lists, search. Maybe send geotagged tweets?
* Support for local data sources (not in terms of URI, but rather collection of POIs)
