Usage Map in App

Hi Guys, I'm wondering if it is or would be possible to include the usage map within an App itself like a screen that says: See who else is using this App so that users of the App can find other users around them. Sorry for the long-winded sentence. :-) Thoughts? Matt

This has been discussed lots recently. We do plan something exactly like this (with a 'check in' feature) but have not finished the engineering. The tough part is determining what to 'show' when a user views the map. Avatars? (which means folks would have to provide one), Pins: (Which may be boring). Also....what happens when the pin is tapped? What details show etc. It's looking like the first release of the 'App Activity' screen (to be released) will show a simple pin-drop with an 'info window' that shows the users location, time, and phone make model. Figured we could get more complicated after that.
