Yeah, the GPS thing is surprising. My understanding of Android development is limited but doesn't Location Manager allow for cell/wifi location detection? I'd really like to see this with GPS as an optional or last resort fallback.

For instance, I'm here in my office and have no GPS coverage and bounce is stumped.

Neat idea, needs better execution, looking foward to updates.

EDIT: One other point of feedback. I have an appointment at the Panama Hotel in Seattle. That appointment shows up in Calendar and maps figured out the location without a problem, but Bounce thinks I'm going to Panama. The republic. Is there any way to pull this from Maps?



Thanks for the feedback. It should get your location from the network if GPS isn't working. Will look into it.

Yeah, place lookups are really rough now - that's really high on our priority list. Forthcoming version versions will be much better.

Thanks again.


Props for dealing with the feedback in this thread so quickly and sorry for turning HN into a low fidelity bug tracker. I promise to submit future bug reports in a more useful manner.

Fwiw, folks, this is staying on my phone. One of the great things about the android marketplace is I can expect this will be updated sooner rather than later.


+1 for the lack of friction in the Android Marketplace.
