On iPhone 4/native Safari browser: When I tap on Nearby, I am taken to a list of articles near me, but there is immediately a toast notification at the bottom of the list telling me "we found a more accurate location for you. Click here to refresh the list of nearby pages." This is strange because I haven't moved anywhere! When I tap the message, nothing happens (the list doesn't refresh, because, again, I haven't moved). Also, I would expect the message to disappear when I start scrolling, which it doesn't do. This makes it difficult to read/see the content behind it.
I'm not quite sure what happens here. We currently watch the current location so what's happening here is for some reason a second more accurate location is being passed on. I guess however this second location only differs by some insignificant decimal point. We should probably only show this when the coordinates change radically. In terms of not dismissing whilst scrolling - this is currently by design in case you want (a slight scroll would make it disappear and impossible to show it again and refresh the results) Maybe it should only disappear on a significant scroll (for example 50 pixels)? Another option would be to add a close button. If the toast message shows only when the location has changed significantly maybe this is not such a big deal? It's main purpose is for those train /car journeys where you want to keep an eye on your surroundings and what's around you. Could do with some design input here.
