I wonder if it possible to get the distance in the callout when you touch the pin on the map? Title Comments HI David.

If you're pulling the locations from a file it is. a) Send device location in data url. b) Prepare JSON locations list on backend. Title / Subtitle (with distance from) is created for each item. c) Force map to refresh each time it's loaded so sub-titles are updated. Asking the phone to do it after the items are downloaded it doable but super-duper-tricky. Comments Good idea. Did this awhile ago in a different project.
