Topic on Talk:Beta Features/Nearby Pages/Design

Great start, Prateek! Some quick ideas:

1. Maybe add an excerpt or category (on the list) for each item on the list
2. On hover, you can show the marker on the list as well
3. Copy, interaction and placing the marker should be thought out a bit more
4. Think more about the "Search Map" inside the map (might be confused with zoom because of the icon). Maybe put it somewhere else?
5. "Use current location" should probably go on the map
6. I don't like the edge menu layout :(

I've incorporated your feedback in the new design iteration D. I will look into the edge menu later. Let me know what you think!

Some more feedback:

1. Hide/Show map link could be a little subtle.
2. Add ellipses to text extracts.
3. Move the marker on hover somewhere other than the photo. Maybe besides the name.
4. Maybe the full map thing could take only half the screen? That is probably more than enough.
5. Make the page title color blue in the list, to indicate that its a link.
6. Idea: Maybe users could rank POIs?

Do a few quick wireframe sketches for the workflow of the following use cases:

1. Someone goes to New York article and want to find places nearby
2. Someone goes to a page like "Car" that does NOT have location and should be able to say that there is no location needed on this article.
3. Someone goes to "Chicago" but can't find it on the map and then adds it to the map.
4. Someone wants a big map and explore Wikipedia through geodata
