Here's a screenshot of an experimental nearby interface in the iOS Wikipedia app. The little green directional arrows take into account device orientation to guide you to the coordinate. Distances update in real time as well.

What about meters and kilometers? It's much easier as feets :P Joking aside: This feature looks great! Another very helpful feature would be a map to show the points with geodata around me :) Freundliche Grüße / Kind regards Florian Von: mobile-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mobile-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] Im Auftrag von Dan Garry Gesendet: Mittwoch, 20.

I just installed it and can't wait to test it out while out and about this weekend. I recommend it for everyone else too. So far its smooth and accurate and I just wish there was a way to go back and forth faster. On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 9:39 PM, Monte Hurd <mhurd(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

Would be cool if someone wanted to experiment with this for the mobile site... It is one of the most popular parts of the mobile site. Even more popular than the Watchlist!

Remember - we considered this initially but decided that browsers will drain batteries too fast this way. On Thu, Aug 21, 2014 at 9:52 PM, Jon Robson <jdlrobson(a)gmail.com> wrote:
