Hi Chris, great catch! It looks very impressive. This is one of those ideas the team needs to adopt and implement in the iPhone application too.

Thanks guys. I’ll keep tweaking it.

I’ve made it attempt to automatically point towards the spot however it only really works when there’s pretty precise GPS coords.

But it does means you can have fun clicking on streets around the spot to see it from different angles. A good example is the Washington Monument: http://gowalla.com/spots/9184
