Facebook Friend Geocoder

I’m very excited about the MapQuest API and all the possibilities it offeres developers for creating mapping applications. I wanted to test the API and sharpen my own skills, so over the past few days I’ve been working on a Facebook geocoding application that will put any of your friends with current locations set on a Mapquest map.

It may be because I’m using a free developers license key, but I’ve noticed a few of the locations aren’t geocoding properly. For example, Roseville MN is turning up Roseville California.

I haven’t submitted the application to the Facebook library yet, but feel free to try it out and post any feedback you have either here or on the application about page.
