I would welcome any feedback on the idea (does it scratch an itch), site usability, features, etc.
Use Case: I [moved to, am visiting] [Denver, Palo Alto, Pawtucket]. I want to [run, play pickup basketball, throw a frisbee, etc.]. Where do I go?
Thanks for your help.
However I'm not seeing any sports fields...
Okay --> I'm so used to using GMaps - that I clicked and dragged but never just clicked.. I looked at Denver to see some actual data - and finally worked out how to add my own.
And then after typing in a reasonable description - It flashed up a JS error "0" to me...
I like the concept though --> I'd probably use it.. (Although what I'd truly love is the next step --> this is a cool running track; this specific oval is for cricket; etc..
Also -> more Sports? Or are you using the assumption that cricket, football, soccer, AFL, etc are all "Grass/Dirt fields"
Sorry about that stupid javascript error. I just fixed it so the add functionality works properly. I had considered adding different entries for football, soccer, cricket, etc. but it seems like those are usually just played on whatever field people can find, rather than being designated. I can add them in easily though.
I'm intrigued by your idea of putting in more granular data. Do you think that would involve having specific comments for each of the features selected? As it is, it's hard to pick out specific parts of these parks and schools in detail.
Thanks again, and let me know if you have any other comments or ideas.
