Thanks Stephen. Was this the mobile app version that was shown at Metrics today with the map service that works without GPS? Or is that feature already in production?

Hi Pine,
This Beta release does indeed have everything shown in the Metrics demo. We've found a couple additional minor issues that we may want to fix before pushing all of this to production, so we may issue an additional beta in the coming days, prior to releasing to production. Stay tuned.

Sounds good! The demo was great.
Suggestion for future development: Wikivoyage integration.
