android bouldr port [updated]

2012-04-10T22:57:33-07:00

It would be awesome to offer the bouldr app to the google powered platform Android.

ds said:

indeed, that would be great! or - if you love objective c but hate java and android development - would you provide an API for your service? :)

How do I get in touch with someone from Bouldr.net??? I've tried via facebook but get shut off from conversation. I would like to know if you are offering something other than individual user accounts. A setup/platform/account our gym can use to post routes as they are reset. Best, Jesse

Add Youtube/Vimeo link for each Climb

2011-01-10T17:59:23-08:00

Passarinho suggested:
A climb could have links for youtube or vimeo. This will help to make sure of the exact location of the route/boulder and how to climb it if you are struggling with it for a looong time.

fix glitch cannot delete a path [is now completed]

2010-11-02T09:05:09-07:00

I made a better path route onto stoney point topo and it won't let me delete the old one.

bouldr said:

This should already be possible - click on the path you want to delete to select it, then click the delete button at the bottom. Let me know if you still can't delete it.

have a home location on the map [updated]

2010-09-24T08:57:11-07:00

when you go to the "explore" section, instead of viewing the map from world view, it shows a more local area to the user.

write a beginers guide [is now declined]

2010-09-24T08:40:19-07:00

hi, it would be great if you could write a beginners guide to climbing, suggesting equipment and techniques. other than that a great site, I haven't encountered anything like it and I have been wanting to take up climbing for the last month or so, I couldn't have found it at a better time. :P

Probably not for this site, really. There are lots of other resources out there for this!

Route Photo's on iPhone App [is now completed]

2010-09-24T08:39:31-07:00

Allow the iPhone user to take a photo of the route, draw the line of the route on the photo and upload it with a gps fix. The next user who comes along, can then see the photo semi-transparent with the line overlayed over the image coming from the iPhone's camera. This would allow them to line up the features on the cliff with the photo, and when lined up, see exactly where the line of the route is meant to be.

This should already be the case - if you edit your profile, and set your location, the explorer will be centered on that location the next time you go to the homepage. Additinoally, the newsletter will be tailored to this location (if you're subscribed).

ipod touch version

2010-03-05T14:09:42-08:00

an anonymous user suggested:
why not have an ipod touch version - I know it doesn't have GPS, but even with a limited functionality it would still be good to have and shouldn't require much tweaking from the iPhone version.

Add support for creating topos [is now completed]

2010-01-15T01:25:16-08:00

Topos of areas that include paths, boulders and crag details would be useful for locating particular features when at the crag or when placing climbs on the map.

Route to a Location [updated]

2009-10-18T07:46:05-07:00

Is it possible to implement, in the current Google add-on we have on the site, the To Here/From Here locations? I mean, it would be very useful to calculate the way from the city you are to some bouldering site.

nachotronics said:

It could be nice if it opens in a new window, simple and doesn't stand in the way of the maps in the site.

Might be something like this for the US
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&daddr=DESTINATION-COORDS

or the UK
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&daddr=DESTINATION-COORDS

Example
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&daddr=34%B0%202%2718.66%22N%20118%B016%272.86%22W

You can feed the coordinates to the API and let it figure street addresses.

Provide grade conversions [updated]

2009-10-18T07:22:22-07:00

I should be able to set my preferred grading system, and have Bouldr convert climb grades automatically.

nachotronics said:

That seems ok, assuming you have a well established table of equivalence. This might be a start:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_%28climbing%29#Free_climbing_ratings_comparison_table

Still, UK ratings (ie. E8 6C) are not that straightforward, other than that it seems possible.

Translation to Spanish, and other languages [updated]

2009-10-18T07:18:23-07:00

I think it has a lot of potential in my area, since there aren't many guidebooks and the ones that do exist are old and outdated. One drawback though is it's only in English, so I find it hard to get my friends to sign up and comment or cooperate. It might be the same for all Spanish speaking regions. SO: I'm offering my help to translate the site to Spanish if you can code it. I don't think it would take long since there isn't much text on it. It's mostly menus and labels.

And, by the way, I cannot send messages to "Matt" through the bouldr site...

route maps and difficulty ratings, including bouldering

an anonymous user suggested:
At each climbing location some one can search for different route maps and their difficulty rating (YDS). Including difficulty ratings for bouldering routes.

Adding Locations [updated]

2008-11-04T20:47:10-08:00

It would be great if you could add climbing locations in addition to routes. If I want to share a great climbing area but I don’t have any particular route this would be a great thing. It could also work for indoor areas.

It would be good to be able to identify an area and then have a general climbing guide or link to area guide. For instance there are 1000’s of climbs in Snowdonia and an area guide would be great. Then possibly broken down into sub areas and then individual climbs.

I think having a network of fellow-climbers in the area is important. For instance, I am a fan of the Bouldr page on Facebook, and think it'd be great if I could connect with other people in my area. We could pool resources, knowledge, and even start localized chapters!
