Fixing Now.
The Location is grabbed when you go to the home screen I will immediately add an option to turn on HUNTING which will put you on the map. If hunting is off your location wont be displayed but still pulled so you can personally see information around you.
I'm still off by two. 877 in your tool. 875 in reality.
Greatly appreciate what you're doing. We've wanted to make this transition for so long.
EDIT: Currently showing zero visits after
@Copythat23's update just after 1 p.m. eastern time.
If your own location isn't shown then your location data isn't allowed on your browser.
Hmmm. Still not showing my location. I'm on Android and approved location access. Anyone know how to check?
EDIT: I see it now. It kind of looks like it is in the wrong location until I zoom in.
It can get real time data if you want that. But currently it only pulls (not constantly)when you enter the home screen tab. Your location displayed to others isn't shared by exact location just by ZIP code. So if two people are in the same zip it will show them on top of each other.
Thanks. In the future, maybe we could move towards an app that would allow us to do the real-time hunt more effectively without having to use the invasive Life360. That's for the future though.
The checkin page shows you chargers nearby if you are at the charger it will have a check in tab next to it

At the top of the checkin page there is a add nav button. You can click and search any charger to checkin there. I will refine how you search in a few days.

Thanks for the tutorial.
Yes stats are coming soon. I want to know what everyone wants to see in there and what visuals i should add into the stats page.
Great! I really like
@tes-s' proposal.
The visual I would really like is a zoomable map of superchargers with my position as the center, and 4 supercharger toggles: Visited (with open status), Unvisited (with open status), Construction, and Permit. Maybe a 5th toggle for Visited with closed status (or a toggle for closed that would apply to both Visited and Unvisited). Default would be Visited and Unvisited on, and Construction and Permit off. Being able to remember the toggle settings by user would be nice too. Some distinction between the different supercharger statuses like supercharge.info does on their maps.
Additionally, this is a competition so we need the leaderboard chart. I like how we have Tableau enabled so when you click on a competitor's bar it will take you to their visualization of unvisited superchargers. While I like tes-s' idea, I still think we need the global view of unvisited superchargers because many of us use that view as seed material for planning trips. I know I like to look back at my visited map too as a reminder of all that I've done and to show others who ask.
I'd also like to replay my visits so I can see an animation over time.
Over time I think we should try to replicate or build on the following views from Tableau. They have many thousands of views on Tableau from just the few of us in the game, which indicates their usefulness.
We have a sub-competition for tracking who has the most supercharger's visited in a day and the visualization that goes with it can be found
here. If/when you are ready to build this, I can provide exclusion data because a lot of the early is guestimated and thus skews this graphic when a bunch of supercharger visits are just clumped at the end of the month. It took me a long time but I build a list of competitor dates that should be excluded. This isn't a problem going forward, just for historical data.
There are other visualizations but I think these would serve as the core foundation.
I do have all data on superchargers its just not displayed. What is that info you mentioned used for while out hunting?
I do just pull from
supercharge.info
Not so much for the hunt itself but the data enables other visualizations that can't be computed from supercharge.info's data alone. Examples that I have in Tableau already and find useful and fun to show the progress of the network.
- Supercharger View allows filtering by status, including closed. It also allows filtering by the number of stalls and type.
- Supercharger timeline dashboard allows you to reply the buildout of the network or jump to what the network looked like at any particular date. I currently only allow filtering by version type and the number of stalls but this could have many additional filters as well. For instance, we could filter by last updated date to see which locations are being improved or expanded.
We should add another field that allows us to categorize superchargers as being particularly scenic, which would allow us to filter those to provide seeds for road trips to visit the most scenic locals to charge.
supercharge.info
there will be a way to click that will open up google maps so you can share it to your tesla. Good idea ill get it done.
@Randy Spencer
Great. I typically share the lat/long location to my car.
the stats/rank tab isn't up yet. I wanted to get info on what everyone looks at daily and what is really wanted in regards to the graphs and stats.
See above and the
spreadsheet's leaderboard tab that
@tes-s maintains.
The players tab is not an exact location it's based off zip code. I didn't want anyone following anyone. It does not run in the background. It only pulls on the Home page when you launch the app. if the app or site is closed it wont run location.
Copy.
I will work on showing a further out view of nearby chargers. Currently right now it is only showing your current state or province.
I had a ton of issues importing such a massive list I'm going to try to import again this week but it takes about a day to move it as the google doc is so big. I'm thinking it's getting messed up because things are added to it when it's importing. You will soon be able to edit and delete checkins so if something is there that shouldn't you can just remove it, or change the checkin time and date.
Copy.
Thanks for the positive input and i will get this looking nice. I started this around 2 weeks ago so i will be changing a lot. so until then use the spreadsheet and test the app. once its dialed in we can see where it goes!
As said above, you are accomplishing something we've wanted to get done for a very long time so a huge thank you. Know that there are a number of us who work to keep the current system functioning and are more than willing to help do so within your system once we make the transition. In particular, I'd recommend you keep
@tes-s,
@JSergeant,
@Big Earl and
@Darren S on the shortlist.
@tes-s also has admin privileges on supercharge.info and often takes the lead in resolving discrepancies in data, especially around naming.
