When I click on the button it just shows me a map of sydney?
Is this working?
Hi Jon. You’ll need to view this app on an iPhone with location services enabled or a web browser with geolocation capability. Otherwise, it’ll just display a static map with the default location.
Ah fair enough.
Might be good to make it available to browsers as well as other phones? Not everyone has an iPhone … yet!
That’s a good idea! I could do a user-agent check and present an alternate version of the site for non-iPhone users.
Thank you for your feedback.
Maybe have it show more than just one dataset? (in this case centrelink). My Victoria Online mashup includes most of the datasets, would be good if you could expand it a bit.
Just a heads up, this isn’t working on my computer either. I’m having the same problem as Jon – I see a map, but I don’t see any points on it…. Chrome v3 if that’s any help.
Hi Bryce, I don’t think geolocation services are supported by Chrome v3 browser. This app is built especially for iPhone with location services enabled, however, you can use a web browser to view it too if the browser has geolocation capability (eg: Firefox 3.5).
If you’re interested, here is a nice article that tells you about browser capabilities: http://www.deepbluesky.com/blog/-/browser-support-for-css3-and-html5_72/
For anyone interested in the technologies used in this app, I’ve written a blog post about it: http://eisabainyo.net/weblog/2009/11/15/building-mashups-for-the-society-mashup-australia-part-i/
