iPhone location

[Jamie350]

When using the mobile page to post a fuel up my iPhone always asks: "Can Fuelly use your location?". Does the page record the location, and if so will that information show up at some point?

Yeah, we added that recently because the new iPhone OS allowed for it. We figured we might want to start trying to associate fill-ups with gas station locations at one point, so having a database of locations associated with fill-ups might be a good place to start, but at the moment we are storing the locations and haven't built any location-based features or interfaces just yet.

When we added the feature, we thought it might only ask for location once, but I've been getting slightly annoyed by it asking every single time.

If this were a native app, it could ask a couple times and then would save the feature. I'd download a native app for fuelly.

Yeah I would also use a native app if it were available.

Im definitely game for a native app!

Location tracking is an interesting idea. I would use a blackberry app if one were available.
