I will soon be adding some new features to the Townmap web application to include some more features and to fix a few things from the initial mockup. Here’s what changes are coming!
Additional Data Points - I’ll be adding a few more points of data to each Pokemon listing. This should hopefully allow for some better data visualizations later on .
Weather at the time of capture / spotting.
Capture type. Such as normal occurence, from lure, or from incense.
Additional notes such as “on the far side of the lake” for clarification. Or just “Good luck!” for those pesky ones.
Time Frame Filter - So you can adjust the age of the entries being displayed. Lessen the time to only see more immediate entries.
Search - Adding the ability to look for a particular Pokemon and not just anything within your area.
Map Filtering - Similar to search. Click a Pokemon to only see entries of the same Pokemon. Maybe click twice to see it and it’s evolutions.
Pokemon List - A listing for outputting all Pokemon currently displayed on the map. Useful for cluttered maps.
Simple Map Markers - For those that aren’t concerned having Pokemon faces on the map. Help with load times and seeing larger number of map entries without clutter.
Social Sharing - Currently you can share the page to facebook or twitter. I’d like to customize it a bit more to reflect a recent capture the user made rather than just a general website description.
