[12:40:47]<symbioquine[m]>Playing with drawing via geolocation ^
[12:40:56]<mstenta[m]>WHOA!!
[12:40:56]<symbioquine[m]>https://symbioquine.github.io/symmetrical-octo-enigma/
[12:41:30]<mstenta[m]>How's the accuracy? Looks pretty good!
[12:41:31]<symbioquine[m]>(buttons currently only work if you first select a type of feature to draw)
[12:41:53]<symbioquine[m]>Yeah, it's not terrible. At least right now where I am :)
[12:42:00]<mstenta[m]>Wow I love the buttons!
[12:42:08]<mstenta[m]>This is awesome symbioquine
[12:42:21]<mstenta[m]>I'm outside right now... will try on my phone
[12:44:32]<mstenta[m]>Wait how do I get it to draw?
[12:44:45]<mstenta[m]>I turned on geolocate, then pressed the bottom button and walked around
[12:45:00]<symbioquine[m]>Click the linestring or polygon buttons also
[12:45:12]<symbioquine[m]>symbioquine[m]: i.e. this ^
[12:46:47]<symbioquine[m]>It's a pretty rough demo, just to get a sense for how accurate the geolocation services are on different devices/locations. I'll fix that button behavior to be more intuitive soon...
[12:46:58]<mstenta[m]>Oh I got it now!
[12:47:02]<mstenta[m]>NICE
[12:48:05]<mstenta[m]>It's pretty dang accurate!
[12:48:13]<symbioquine[m]>Awesome!
[12:48:29]<mstenta[m]>Love the info in the sidebar too
[12:49:04]<symbioquine[m]>Oh, yeah. Just needed somewhere to put the location info numbers for troubleshooting purposes :)
[12:53:18]<thattechguy99[m]>Would love to hear the use case around this. Very cool so far.
[12:54:34]<symbioquine[m]>https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS-map/issues/170
[12:54:44]<mstenta[m]>One that has come up in the past: setting new livestock fencing (the movable netting kind) and then walking the fence line afterwards to draw the geom
[12:55:13]<thattechguy99[m]>Nice, that’s a good one
[12:55:13]<mstenta[m]>Or drawing fields if the satellite imagery is outdated
[12:55:32]<mstenta[m]>Or following your tractor path :-)
[12:55:57]<thattechguy99[m]>I put a lot on the maps but mapbox was the only one available. Google maps would be better
[12:56:32]<thattechguy99[m]>Tractor path!! Great point
[12:57:23]<thattechguy99[m]>You could look back and try to plan more efficient routs
[12:58:00]<mstenta[m]>https://www.drupal.org/project/farm_map_google
[12:58:25]<thattechguy99[m]>It was broken for some time
[12:58:37]<thattechguy99[m]>Google maps
[12:58:50]<symbioquine[m]>It should be working now
[12:58:54]<mstenta[m]>That module works, last I checked. There are some known issues (rotating hte map breaks it)
[12:59:17]<thattechguy99[m]>Awesome thanks folks!
[13:01:20]<symbioquine[m]>mstenta[m]: The demo I sent just now actually uses the farm_map_google code - albeit in a little bit unusual manner (since it's a stand-alone map, not within Drupal/farmOS)
