I like the idea. Unfortunately the 'Empire State Building' page takes me to a particularly rural part of Algeria.

  Really? It works for me with http://geosay.com/#!wikipediastreetview=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_Building http://geosay.com/#!wikipediastreetview=http://en.wikipedia.... Rural Algeria is probably our default location (30,0) as that is what makes some sense when the map is zoomed out - you should only get that if we can't locate you in any way, but it also sounds like the wikipedia thing is not working. Can you post browser/ OS, etc please?

    I was also in the middle of Morocco the first time I tried. Then it worked. I think what happens is, the first time you go to geosay you have to allow the browser to give away your location; if you click on "search here" (bottom left) before having given this authorization, you land in Africa. A simple fix could be to not show the "search here" link before the application has a real location...?

      We have just deployed a fix for this. I _think_ some versions of FF have a bug in NetworkGeolocationProvider.js (I think this is the bug: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/740469 http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/740469 although I have it in 3.6.8) Anyhow, could you try again and see how it works?

      I just tried this with the fix and it seems better

      Ah yes, that seems to fix it. If I allow Chrome to access my location, then refresh the page, it works as expected.
