yes Jon . Only 20 monuments have co-ordinates out of 4300+ monuments.

Hi Naveen I notice lots of monuments do not have geo coordinates so I guess this is what you mean - users should still be able to search though if they know what they are looking for! :)
I wonder if there is a way the app could add coordinates to these monuments where they are missing... would be a great way to crowd source some geo data.... Jon

Hi Naveen This should be solved in the next application update (hopefully later
today)
I disagree with your statement that the app will not be useful - it has a 'find nearby monuments;' feature which should help India Wiki Loves Monumenteers to find monuments on their doorstep so there is no need for them to even use the list!

Hi Philip/Mathew,
In case of India, until monuments list as separated as statewise; it
will
not be useful. User will be unable to browse 4000+ monuments from single list.
Thanks, naveenpf

Adding to Phil's note, I think only the International, Israeli and the U.S. sites are currently using a prominent button to encourage
downloads of
the Android app. If other countries want to do the same, I think it
would be
excellent. If you don't like the image used on the app with the
lightning (I
know someone found it too dark), we could do other images or no image
at
all. For the U.S. site, we substituted an image of the Golden Gate
Bridge.
Anyway, please discuss any concerns with the design or anything else
here
and let us know if we can help facilitate more promotion of the app
through
the national sites.
Couple of other stories in the past few days that mention the app:

Hi All,
The contest if off to a good start but traction for the mobile app is lagging. So far we have 300+ uploads and about 1500 installs of the
app.
In some countries, the app will broaden participation, so it is a good idea to let your communities know the app is available. We have
created a
sample banner here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_mobile_application/Marke...
Which you can modify as desired. The text is editable so it is easy to translate, or feel free to change the text.
The download link is in the banner text and graphics and QR code, so don't worry about that.
Please let me know if you have any questions. We can help with re-formatting.
In addition, we are seeing some mobile/tech press attention in the
US, so
the app could help your overall PR efforts. For example:

Thank you.
Phil
