Hi Ryan, Good call on the location stuff, I've now added a Google Map, so you can change the location by dragging the pin -a bit fiddly, but it works! I think accessing device functionality (other than just geolocation) is inevitable, it's just a case of when that will happen, or if, when it happens, it'll be adopted as a standard across the board - I'm hoping it will be though!

At the moment it tells me you have a fix, but I know from using Android, if GPS isn't available the Cell Lookups can put me up to a mile away. Maybe a map with radius on it, or street name/area? As for photos, Google did demo at IO taking pictures on the phone via a button in the browser, not sure if this was full HTML5 or when it would be available.

Mainly designed with Webkit in mind, but degrades gracefully (ie, if no geoloction available, you can just enter a postcode) - you can see it in action here: http://www.pezholio.co.uk/fmsmobile/ <http://www.pezholio.co.uk/fmsmobile/> and the code is up here: http://github.com/pezholio/Fixmystreet-Mobile <http://github.com/pezholio/Fixmystreet-Mobile> Would be interested in getting people's feedback. The only feature missing is the ability to take photos, but that's not in any HTML5 specification I know of!
