<p><strong><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/mbiddulph/2499840216/">Dopplr place googlemaps, with and without Yahoo Geo API bounding box adjustment</a></strong></p> Dopplr uses Geonames for most geo information, but is now mixing in bounding box data from the Yahoo! Geo web service to improve the default zoom level for their maps. The JSON callback API means no server-side code is required on Dopplr’s end. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/dopplr">dopplr</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/geonames">geonames</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/javascript">javascript</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/json">json</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/jsonp">jsonp</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/mapping">mapping</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/matt-biddulph">matt-biddulph</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/whereonearth">whereonearth</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/yahoo-geo">yahoo-geo</a></p>
