I believe someone started on a very similar project last year. I will
try to track down what happened to the project this afternoon.

Does anyone out there remember?

"Mobile Person Finder Prototype (Android & iPhone): created a Google
Android mobile app for crisis response agencies to record data on the
ground in Haiti, created requirements and user interface prototype
based on the PFIF 1.3 data model and used the KissXML for parsing
(CrisisCamp Toronto)."

That quote is from the Haiti after action report.

Thank you Mr. Stuart.

Can I ask your work detail?
Is it the service that transmits SMS email when person finder data are updated?

Thank you.

I worked on an SMS queue processor - but not anything related specifically to a mobile app.

This is my site I am developing now.
http://japan-person-finder-map.appspot.com/

The goal is that the users enter the name of missing person and
information about his/her is plotted on the map.
The information is queried from person finder api and marker point is
geocooded from api resp.

It's almost done but, there is one problem in my way.
The amount of geocoding is hit the quota soon.

I know this is not the maps api group but, does anyone have idea???

Hi,

What are the addresses you are geocoding?  If you are using the home_street, home_city fields, please be aware that these fields contain the home address of the person, not their current location.  People fill in the last_known_location field if they know the person's current location.

Can you tell me how many geocoding queries you have issued so far and how many you think you will need per day?

Thanks for your reply!

I use both home_* and last_known_location as the address for geocoding, but I try to change to take only last_known_location for reducing the number of request.

>Can you tell me how many geocoding queries you have issued so far and how many you think you will need per day?

I can' t imagine.

I made a test by using "たなか", most common Japanese last name, and almost 30 person are registered.

Make sure you're caching geocoding responses, that should help with
geocoding quota limits.

Thanks!!
I forgot about caching!!

[yamadatomonori]

At the first place, I tried to handle every response from api,
however, due to the quota limitation, I limited the number of markers
under 10
