UI tips from my wife

Without even knowing she did it, Charlotte made a valuable observation. I got a flat tire on my bicycle two nights ago at the office, so I decided to walk home. It's good for the waistline, the environment, and my self esteem. But I knew she'd worry about me so I sent her an sms and said "you can track me on eraza.org".

When I got home she casually said "it's a pain to always have to zoom into you on the street level when I want to watch you move around."


So, I added some buttons to the hover window. The little globe zooms right to the person at street level. I don't want to clutter that window too much, but it's a great place to put quick information and some navigation options.
