There are several "Local Search" engines, several "Social Club" fluff apps and more "Photo-Blogger" apps than I can shake a stick at. Few of those are of interest to me. This is one application I will use OFTEN. I hope it will come out soon.

The biggest problem I've found with the web pane API is that you have next to no access. You have the basic functionality of forwards and backwards between pages, going to a URL (local or on the web), stop and refresh. You can also call javascript in the currently viewing pane. The javascript is the only way to interface with the content of that pane right now as far as I am aware -- I can't get any data other than requesting it via a javascript.<BR/><BR/>I don't know exactly how they are doing that, but I am betting that they already have access to the page you view there, and if you knew the URL you could simply navigate to that page in a regular web browser.<BR/><BR/>I may be able to do something like that in the future, but I'm sort of a web dummy -- I have done a lot of application programming but next to no web development. So that may come later.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the suggestion!DadGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903420036046787585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601181155932849007.post-87993330409995326062008-07-17T13:24:00.000-06:002008-07-17T13:24:00.000-06:00One suggestion...While checking out the weatherbug...One suggestion...<BR/><BR/>While checking out the weatherbug app...i notice for their radar view they use google maps and use a radar overlay..I'm assuming from their own data. Are they leveraging the built-in googlemaps to do that? Does the iphone API have hooks for that? At the same time, geocaching.com has google maps overlay with their cache data. I know their data is proprietary and thats why they don't have a public API...I wonder if some accomodation could be made to allow use of their data to overlay the built-in google maps like weatherbug is using. From there, the interface could be built to pick up the data from the selection.

Thats great! I just hope the guys at Groundspeak will want to help out and give you the resources to improve the app even after its release.
