This is a map mashup that displays architectural locations. You can search by various criteria.
It's hosted here: http://dev.mqlx.com/~zak/arch
original specifications:
In a side or top div it presents the user with autocomplete inputs for:
/architecture/architect (optional if the citytown is specified)/location/citytown (optional if the architect is specified)
And a submit button. To re-iterate, architect or city, or both must be input or the user should get an error upon submission. Note: trying to filter by state, or country is very difficult with our current data. The U.S. cities are pretty good but international location data is very spotty. It's not worth it.
The submission will search for all instances of the type /architecture/structure which matches on the filtered field (limit 1000). Each of the above autocomplete inputs are displayed but can "edited" i.e. a user can change the value of the field to a different value using the familiar autocomplete pattern then clicking the submit button again. The submit button should be greyed out after a submission but when the user edits an autocomplete input field, the submit button should be activated again.
The result set will be displayed in html, below the filter inputs, and in the main div on a google map with pushpins. Structures without an address *and* without a geocode should just be omitted from the map but should be included in the html listing (with "Add an address for this listing" a link to that topic in freebase.com).
The html and the pushpin dialog box should contain:
name of structure (hyperlinked to the structure's topic page in frebase)address, city, zip (hyperlinked to the mailing address object for this structure in freebase)latitude and longitude (hyperlinked to the geocode object for this structure's mailing address/location object in freebase)picture if available
Bonus points : If the geolocation is incorrect, the user could move the pushpin to the correct location and be asked "press submit to update the latitude and longitude of this location"
