Can we default to "Geographical" view instead of "Aerial" view?

I think we should ditch "relief" view. I'm not sure that's useful. Also all these extra views in the right click menu. I don't think "cloud" view is relevant to photos.

It looks like there is an extra frame around the view. Can we remove that?

The default view is zoomed out to the whole world. That's a little much. We should do like Facebook and zoom just so that we show all the places you have photos. And I guess if you have 0 locations we should not show the "Places" item like we don't show "Flagged" etc.

If a photo doesn't have a location, we should ask them to add a location by searching for its name (ie: Yosemite National Park) instead of trying to click a location (which will always be inaccurate).

All are fixed now.

Also the geo locations are loaded into the db on the first run which takes about 10-20 seconds. Not something a new user will be likely to run into but for a tester the geo search completion won't be fully loaded until it's done.

Hm, is it possible to get the names of places (restaurants, buildings, etc) in addition to just cities? It looks like Maya can do this.

Also, once we've confirmed a location we should probably zoom in more on that location. I can see almost my whole state from the current zoom level :p

Can we also get the same location marker image from Maya?

Ohh did not know Maya had maps too. Will do.

Hey it looks like Maya is actually going searching through your contacts list to find address information to give you things like restaurants and such. Dunno if we want to add something like that to photos?

I just fixed the other two though.

Yeah I think it makes sense that anything you can search for in one place we should be able to search in another place.

And I was wrong actually it will do straight street addresses. Auto complete in Maya doesn't seem to bring anything up for me though does it for you?

Fixed hitting enter in the entry box does what Maya does and uses the Geocode lib that hits the web and grabs the closest match and contacts addresses are added to the auto complete. Slightly different though it still uses an offline location list for non contacts auto complete instead of using the geocode lib as I found the lookup was generally too slow and made it feel unresponsive.

It looks like it does find the place on hitting enter. Is there are way to have locations appear in the auto-complete? If not, maybe we should ditch the auto-complete. As you're typing in a location it kind of feels like you're being told that it can't find what you're looking for even though it will find it on pressing enter.

Can we zoom in more in the sidebar? I feel like we're still really far away from a specific location.

I've also noticed that once a location is set, hitting "clear" clears the entry but doesn't remove that location tag. It doesn't appear to be possible to untag a photo's location.

It also looks like the location marker is positioned incorrectly. The location appears to be under the top/left (maybe?) of the marker instead of bottom center.

Fixed.

For the search stuff, yeah I had already written it for grabbing the locations from the geocode library for auto complete and I changed it back and it falls back to the offline auto complete now. It can be a little slow to come up but it sounds like that's better than using a different list for hitting enter vs auto complete.

Hm there seems to be no indication (in the sidebar) that a search for the location is in progress. Can we either show the map sooner or have a gtk.spinner or something?

Also, the sidebar map needs to be WAY more zoomed in if it's matching to a building. It's showing at like half a European country size instead of at like a city block size

The map view is still super zoomed out by default and nowhere near where my photos are :p

Yay that it finds places now :D
