Closing due to lack of interest

drewda commented 11 years ago

I'm interested (well to the point of watching this thread, but not sending in a pull request :)

Had you been thinking about a little map display? Or just two text fields for latitude and longitude, perhaps with degree/minutes/seconds-style sexagesimal formatting?

wyuenho commented 11 years ago

Ah haha I wish I could see who's watching this ticket.

I have a rather messy cell that's essentially a modal that takes a geojson and renders a google map and a text box for geocoding. I don't have anything else fancier tho.

drewda commented 11 years ago

(Yes, I agree. Being able to see who's watching a ticket would be a nice replacement for all the +1'ing that pollutes discussion threads.)

Anyways, your modal sounds like a fine start. I would suggest a more generic "slippy map" and geocoding library than Google. Perhaps Leaflet and https://github.com/smeijer/L.GeoSearch ?

wyuenho commented 11 years ago

L.GeoSearch looks like a good abstraction library. Thanks for the heads up! In the mean time if you've implemented something like this in an extension reposition, be sure let me know!

Sorry, I have no general-purpose code to offer at this point (only too-tightly-coupled Backbone views).
