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.

Speaking At FlashMN on Wednesday March 19
I will be speaking on developing MapQuest’s TripPix application (formerly MapMyPix) at the next FlashMN users group on Wednesday, March 19th. For those of you unfamiliar with the FlashMN users group, it meets at 7 on the third Wednesday of each month at Easel Training in Saint Paul.
The talk will include information on building application using the MapQuest Advantage API, AIR and Flex Builder 3.
