Will approximate location be supported?

[ Edited ]

Will this service ever provide approximate (state/city level) location of the users?   I remember this being mentioned several times during the DevCon, but I do not see any such option in the current Beta implementation.

 

Will this be added later on?

I'm checking with Webtrends.

Apparently this was left out due to a desire to not send extra data or be redundant if applications are already capturing location information. 

 

It's recommended that you gather this information yourself at the level you need, ie: RadioInfo, Geolocation, or Satellite GPS, and convert that to City/State information. Then send it as a regular event so that is logged in the dashboard.

Thank you. That makes sense.

 

 

Althought it would be very nice to be able to see the map allocations via the portal.
