I don’t live in the ocean

And I don’t expect that you do either.

Something has changed in the way the Maps application works. For better or worse the URL’s that Here I Am generates now display a nice patch of ocean off the west coast of Africa. If you scroll around to your real location you’ll find the pin where it should be. If you open the URL on your computer google maps displays the location correctly.

I’m working on a fix and hope to have it up on the App Store early next week.

Here I Am Version 1.2

Version 1.2 is now available in the App Store.

It contains a minor tweak to the user interface, making the iPhone vibrate right before opening the mail application.

Now if a location lock is taking a long time you don’t have to visually monitor Here I Am, it will tell you when it is ready for more input.

Negative Reviews In The App Store

There is obviously a glitch in the matrix somewhere as a few people have been writing 1 star reviews on the App Store due to the inaccuracy of the results returned. Unfortunately the only direct contact I have received is in the form of happy customers.

If you are having problems with the accuracy of Here I Am then I would love to seed you a beta version with logging enabled so that we can figure out why some people are getting results as far as 3km’s away from their actual location.
