Default [APP] Location Marker

While waiting this morning on something, I sketched up a tool to quickly mark spots you're at. Unlike regular GPS loggers, it just tags and saves locations (I frequently need something like this on bike tours).

Looks good. May I suggest enabling the correction features on the keyboard in the Name textbox. (Change the InputScope property)

Looks pretty handy.

Is there a way to get directions to the saved spot in bing maps?

Not sure. Trying to invoke the installed Bing Maps with a target location isn't something I thought of or know if it's possible (I figure it should be).

Added some functionality. And I figured, why not put that silly EOS 550D of mine to use, instead of capturing the emulator. Praise my girly hands.

Marketplace has already v1.0, without description field and photos.

Looks really nice and useful.

What methods are there for exporting that data? Sharing via e-mail? SMS? Would be nice if it could also be exported directly to Bing Maps (My Places) or Google Maps (Starred), if even possible. Or even if you could import locations from those services.

Also, is saving locations based on GPS only? Or can you manually input and specify the location on a map (I suppose it'd be like dragging and dropping a pin on a map and saving that location)?

-sigh- if only all Windows Phone 7 developers could do UI like you seem to be capable of doing.

I haven't thought much of exporting yet, altho I have something on my mind. I figure exporting all of it in a KML via e-mail might be an idea, but if there are a lot of photos, it'd end up in a huge package, tho.

Locations are purely GPS based right now.

Hi. This looks nice. Shame there's no trial though. Does it use Bing maps for the map images or Google maps (or another service)?

Thanks
