Nearby is far the best and most exciting feature of the app!
It should be improved! ;-)

Hi Andy,
Glad to hear you're enjoying the feature!
It is indeed possible to look at nearby articles in other parts of the
world, but the only way to do it at the moment is to zoom out (by
pinching), scroll to the desired location, and zoom back in.
I agree that this can be further refined. I'm afraid that enhancements to
the Nearby function aren't in our plans for this quarter, but we may
revisit it in the next quarter, or perhaps at an upcoming hackathon. :)

now that its been restored to the
Android app; and especially looking forward to using it on an upcoming
overseas trip.
However, I don't seem to be able too use it, while at home, to look at
other parts of the world. Is that possible?
It could either be by scrolling or typing in the name of a far-flung
place, or by tapping on the coordinates in a geo-tagged article.
