This is my first time doing a pumpkin with no scary face. My sister thought it was an angel. (please say you can tell its Katniss (with her hair down) shooting a flaming arrow) And I burnt my fingers 3 times trying to light the candles. --by Ria
My hackday entry involved extending the standard contacts list template from Lotus Component Designer so that each contact has the additional fields latitude and longitude. This is useful for countries (such as Ireland) where standard geolocator programs can't translate a postal address into a location. Having this information available allows google and Yahoo mapping tools work for countries that are not supported by use of address entry.
Because people don't typically know the longitude/latitude of their contacts the edit interface shows them a clickable Yahoo map where they can click on where the contact is located and then the application stored the corresponding coordinates.
Unfortunately I did not achieve what I wanted. My vision was to implement the mapping component as a separate component so that it could be wired to any existing component to add map functionality, but die to show progress I was only able to implement it fully integrated with the existing application.
