I explained all my ideas in detail in that thread, but then that thread disappeared :rolleyes: I then started a new thread with the intention to get things going there, but I've been so busy that it fell off the radar. Oh well, at least this idea has got some kind of momentum again, better than nothing! If you want I can totally delete/remove the map I started. |

Re: Positioning N9 users around the world
Yeah I was mulling over a diff. approach, or some way to better leverage Google Maps.
But all my ideas/thoughts went totally missing in the original thread... :rolleyes: And when I started that new thread, I didn't have time to get another dialogue going. Some good "food for thought" there incognito..... |

Jalyst, I think that all credit should go to your original idea, and people who took part on this positioning experiment should recognize that. I would expect that those ideas and approach you came out with were much better than this one I found (I tried initially with Nokia maps website, also tried to use Nokia Pulse as a way to invite people to chek in as part of a group but failed, then, I found google maps as the simplest, but also flaw way to get people posting their N9s on the map covering as many users as possible without restricting too much, well, you need a google account to do it though). As it has been said, it is a poor way and it is prone for statistical innacuracies, and duplicated entried, although, I have to say, it is still of some use to help us to have a snapshot of where the N9s are globally. Somehow not what we should expect based on the original list of countries where it was distributed. If your initial idea is still worth evolving, maybe we could move forward this and find a better replacement to the "old google map" approach. It this post can be useful for that, I will think that my effort was not fruitless. Anyhow, it will be difficult for people to come back a post their N9 in yet another map, so maybe we should find a way to make it attractive to the owners (some social location based app? where N900 and others could join while keeping the numbers for each handset separate for statistical puurposes, etc. That is why I was so keen on Nokia Pulse, initially, but clearly it wasnt design for that purpuse, and you cannot create groups where people can join unless the original creator invite each N9 owner one by one. I could not do that for obvious reasons... |

It would great if you could post in this forum you mentioned and leave the link for the map there. You could also suggest them that if they cannot use the google maps to locate their N9s, maybe they could try to find a different way to do it for Chinese N9 owners. We could figure out something later on in how to accommodate their N9 location numbers with ours. |
