Please help test my application!

Largest of Gregs · 28th January 2009, 5:01pm

I have been building a custom mapping application and I'm now in the position that I can put it out for testing.

Here are the instructions. Please ignore the top menus as they are currently not doing anything so city plans etc are not working.

What I need you to do is try and create a map of your area.

Search for your town or postcode then follow through the stops until the end. You can't yet add it to your basket but you should be able to view all the prices.

List of issues I already know about...

1. Some of the data scales are slightly blurry currently
2. You can’t define your own set of radials as yet
3. You can’t upload a logo
4. There’s no 50k data so although you can see this option you won’t see images
5. You can’t add your map to the cart

Let me know how you get on and let me know of any problems you encounter!

It came up with Erskine, but I had to search for my street even with my Postcode. The rest seemed fine.

I don't really understand what you mean?

You mean that it didn't work for your street name?

It's set up to work by town or postcode.

Thanks though!

Sorry...I was about as clear as mud.

The red arrow shows my postcode area, however if red box is what it came up with, with the setting on the left. I could be wrong and it's meant to do that, but I'm pretty sure that's a different postcode area all together.

Hmm,

I can't seem to recreate that problem. I entered your postcode in then choose and area and it covers your street ok.

Ahh, did you choose your postcode, move the map slightly and then choose the area? It's designed to draw the box over the centrepoint of the map!

Evapilotone · 29th January 2009, 12:49pm

Hmm, strange. It's working now.

It didn't work the first time but!

My first attempt had me placed down by Ayr but my second attempt got it correct as well

Cheers Boblet!

That's a strange one! Can't seem to be able to recreate it!

After searching for a place did you move the map before choosing the size of area to cover?

Thanks again!

I typed in the postcode and pressed enter. It took my to the place near Ayr but I had to zoom out to work out where I was. The next time I input the postcode it took me to the correct location.

It was weird and I've not been able to replicate it either
