Is there a way to let users contribute pins to a map to remember locations that are important only to them?

Sort of. It would take a bit of custom work, but could be done. from the 'mile high' view: 1) Script/code to send users current location to a server. 2) Server places coordinates in a database. 3) Later, user queries server, gets json encoded list of waypoints from database, it populates their map. You would need a way to identify the user. Login/Pass could work. So could deviceId, except if they changed devices... You would need some way to keep user 'saved locations' separate from other users. Probably by login/deviceId. most of the work would be on the server side. You might need a custom form on the device to get any other information you're trying to obtain. 'Eventually' I'll be doing something like this also, but don't wait for me. I've got so many balls in the air already, and am easily distracted by bright shiny objects as well. Cheers! -- Smug

OK, so would this require self-hosting? Also, any advice or recommended resources on how to set up the Login/Pass for individual users?

Well, you don't 'have' to be self hosted, but it would make it easier. You *will* have to have access to 'some' server somewhere. With PHP/MySQL preferably. This is why self hosted would be easier; they usually have that. But if you host a website somewhere, it will also have the same stuff, so it would work just fine. If you have access. Setup some kind of account creation. This could be done with a custom plugin within the BT Environment, or can be setup as a PHP/MySQL web page, using an HTML or CustomURL Plugin. Setup some kind of "data input" system to accept user coordinate entries. This could be done with a custom plugin with the BT Environment, or can be setup as a PHP/MySQL web page, using an HTML or CustomURL plugin. Setup some kind of "data retrieval" system to query and retrieve the user coordinate entries. This could be done easiest with a PHP/MySQL script, feeding prepared and formatted JSON data from a query to the MySQL server with the appropriate authentication for the user. It sounds pretty daunting, and I won't say it's simple, but it's not as difficult as it might seem. Just a lot of rube goldberg activities that feed off each other. Complete one task, complete the next task and so on... pretty soon you're done. Cheers! -- Smug

If they only need to remember map points within the app, why not store those points in the NSUserDefaults? Granted, the custom locations won't be shared to other devices that the User might be utilizing. You'd then have to customize the Maps plugin to grab the custom locations from NSUserDefaults. Also, you'd need to create a Plugin (screen) to let the User add-delete-edit the custom locations. Perhaps Kittsy or Chris1 might be available to whip up a custom plugin for you! Alternatively, If you want it done on the Server side, then use MATE to simplify your coding. MySQL AJAX Table Editor. It is the modern version of phpMyEdit to easily provide Create-Read-Update-Delete-Search operations to the User. -- Niraj
