Like the topic, I want to make a whale tracking app up around Vancouver B.C where like the topic, you can press a button and it will register the location and time you saw a whale. I am very new, and I thought maybe the screen could have a large map with points where others have registered. is this plausible? if so, I would greatly appreciate some advice or instructions, thank you!

It won't be as easy as just selecting a screen within buzztouch, but yes, you can create something like this. I'm thinking one way of doing this would be to break your app into two parts. The first would be a location entry screen. When the submit button is pressed it sends data to a database/server you set up somewhere online. Check out the documentation, especially the section dealing with merge fields. http://www.buzztouch.com/docs/v1.5/mergeFields.php The second screen would be the map which would pull its map locations from your database/server. Check out the Documentation on maps and child items. http://www.buzztouch.com/docs/v1.5/screen_map.php and http://www.buzztouch.com/docs/v1.5/childItems.php

hmmm won't that be like telling all them whalers where their prey is???? small point i know ....
