Description Jeff Garrett 2007-09-08 04:12:07 UTC
There is no search button near the box, and there's nothing else to suggest how to get Roadster first to draw a map.

Might this be confusing?
Comment 1 Ian McIntosh 2007-09-08 09:39:21 UTC
I agree that showing *nothing* is unnecessarily confusing.

The original goal was to show the whole world as the initial view.  Then the user could pan and zoom, or search for what they want.  Even without road data for the whole world, Roadster could ship with vector outlines of countries/states.

I imagine a user preference much like Firefox has for the start page:
- a "home" location
- last-viewed location
- whole world
