NIXI opening in middle of South Pacific #1

Open perdlespedales opened 12 years ago

perdlespedales commented 12 years ago

When I launch NIXI, I am shown a location in the middle of the Pacific. As Montreal is shown by default in the location selector, I would expect that the app would be positioned at the geolocation for Montreal, QC, Canada. Even after selecting another city and coming back to Montreal, I am returned to the same Pacific location.

Yes, this is true. The question here is really what to do when bikeshare service is down for the winter, though I suppose in Montreal's case we could trivially do better by at least showing a map with the bounds (we have enough information to at least do that).

At launch, NIXI could position the map at the known geolocation of the city. That way, even if bikeshare service is down for the season, user is still brought to the right general location. I don't think setting bounds is critical.
