[EHPweb] EHP Website Email - Other - Data Feeds on iPhone

[Scott Haefner]

Hi Tom,

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I'd been hoping to find a globe app for  
my iPhone to view real-time quakes, and this is the first one I've seen.

A few comments (even though you weren't really asking for feedback...)

1. It might be nice to indicate eq age using colored icons. We use red  
for past hour, orange for past day, and yellow for past week on our  
KML feeds. This is already calculated in our Atom feeds:
   e.g. label="Age" term="Past day"
2. I noticed a green label on some events, but I'm not sure what that  
indicates?
3. I wish it would remember what layer I was viewing when I exit so  
that eqs are always visible when I launch the app. I think it requires  
4 steps to turn them back on again.

Scott
