I'd love to help you get your geolocation data mapped.

I've been giving your feedback some more thought. I think I'll make changes to allow comma separated files to be used as well. The reason I've avoided it so far is because some countries use commas as the decimal separator but there are ways around that. I was also thinking it's easier to just paste from Excel as that makes iterating through updates easier.

I'd also be interested in what normalization issues you had because I can probably make some changes to make that easier as well.

Here is an example of a page that used geolocation for tracking birds. The size of the circles represent the height (you can literally see them pulsing as the sleep each night and fly during the day). You can open up this link, download the data, modify it and paste it back in. You can't overwrite someone else's page but you can then save it as your own: https://mapipedia.com/s/u/drdave/fall_migration_of_white_sto...

Thanks for the considered reply! I'll shoot you an email later today.

I've just implemented the ability to handle comma separated data (it converts the commas to tabs under the covers so it can use the old code) but at least that should be one less obstacle in the way.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree it could probably be made better. I think the easiest way to do it is probably to find an example page that does something similar to what you're after (hopefully you can find one) and then export that CSV data/gps data as a starting point. I agree that that they're not really CSV but most people seem to get confused if you talk about TSV for tab formatting. The reason TSV is used is to that you can just paste from Excel directly into the page.
