yes, that makes sense. How would we also do that the other way, adding a 'Maps' tab to the podcast player?

Oh, good catch. That has been moved to Costa Rica, at Barra del Parismina. That's just one point for the trail....will be adding other ways to show the entire length. Thanks!

thank you, feedback very helpful....we found one example where the title wasn't appearing with the pin, and hopefully have fixed that.

Yes, it's a mix of automated with human checking, which is important at this stage. A map raises the bar on the required accuracy. And yes, using the location:tag idea, with some other additions to the RSS feed.

there are some custom content versions, such as Autio, but our thought was to take advantage of all the free podcast episodes (the podcasters love it because it's another form of discovery and their audio plays exactly the same).

Yes, agreed. In the works.

thanks, well taken. This is so new that we think our expertise will be of value. Locating audio on the map, we've found, has lots of hidden challenges and we've learned a lot doing thousands of them...
