Community Feedback in Action as the Platform Evolves

At MapMetrics, we’re constantly building with one goal in mind: to make the app more useful, community-driven, and responsive to real-world usage. This past week, two major priorities took center stage, one a major feature in development, and the other a technical challenge our team is actively working to resolve.

Both come from listening closely to user feedback and staying committed to improving the platform in meaningful, lasting ways.

Building Something New: Uploadable Location Feature Coming Soon

As MapMetrics continues to scale across new users and cities, one clear request has consistently stood out from the community: the ability to add new locations directly onto the map.

We’re excited to share that our dev team is actively working on a new feature that will allow users to upload and pin locations. This means more local businesses, custom waypoints, and useful points of interest, contributed by the community itself. It’s all about shifting from a static navigation layer to one that evolves with local knowledge, powered by the people using it every day.

Here’s how it will work:

• Users will be able to submit a location directly through the app interface
  
• After review and validation, approved locations will be displayed on the map
  
• These additions will help improve navigation accuracy and personalize the driving experience
  
• The data will feed into our decentralized infrastructure system, enhancing the quality and relevance of our mapping ecosystem
  

This is more than a simple add-a-place tool, it’s a core step toward building a truly collaborative map, where the community contributes not just data, but context. Whether it’s identifying a new parking area, a road hazard, or a frequently visited landmark, users will help shape a map that reflects what’s happening in the real world, not just what’s been indexed from afar.

The feature is currently in development, and we’ll be sharing a full walkthrough and release timeline as we move closer to launch. But it’s already clear this is going to be a powerful upgrade, one that brings MapMetrics closer to the mission of decentralized, user-owned mapping.

Check-In Issue: What We’re Seeing and What’s Being Done

At the same time, we’ve been tracking a check-in issue that’s been affecting a select group of users. Unlike system-wide bugs, this issue is more isolated, which makes it more difficult to replicate and debug at scale. But that hasn’t stopped our developers from tackling it head-on.

Here’s what we know:

• The issue does not affect all users, but those who are impacted are unable to complete their daily check-ins consistently
  
• It appears to be device- or region-specific, though we’re still narrowing it down
  
• The backend team is investigating data patterns to find the common thread, and several tests are already in motion
  

Check-ins are an essential part of the MapMetrics experience. They help anchor engagement and ensure users are receiving rewards and tracking progress properly. So while the scope is currently limited, the importance of resolving this issue is high. We appreciate everyone who’s reported their experiences, it helps us pinpoint the variables faster and ensure a permanent solution.

If you’re affected, please continue submitting detailed reports through support. Every detail matters in getting this fixed.

Evolving with the Community

The upcoming location upload feature and the ongoing check-in investigation reflect how we approach development at MapMetrics: with real user input, transparency, and a clear path forward. We don’t believe in rushing out features for the sake of headlines. We believe in solving real problems and building what the community needs.

These updates are part of a broader evolution of the platform, one where users are not just passive participants but co-creators of a better mapping experience. Whether it’s through feature suggestions, bug reports, or simply showing up and using the app every day, your involvement shapes where MapMetrics goes next.

We’re excited about what’s ahead and grateful for your continued support as we grow, fix, and launch.
