I did not want it to go beyond the street; i just mentioned the streets as a visual guide. for CA Adventure I had the pin placed so that people can check in when they enter the park but if they are in the Paradise Pier area they would not be able to check-in.

Disneyland can be bumped from the user max of 150m to 250m and still be within the park boundry.

While checking out spots in Las Vegas I noticed that LAS McCarran needs to be supersized to airport radius.

Expand radius for Disneyland and CA Adventure

Can the radius for California Adventure be bumped up beyond XX-Large to reach West St on the left and Harbor Blvd on the right?

Disneyland can also use a similar increase:

The issue is not finding the original Americano item; it is that the original Americano is no longer listed as a missing item for me and I have not valuted it and I dont not have it in my pack. I know the item still exists in the game and am not sure why it is not on my missing items list.

Richard Lillis started following the question "Conditional Vaulting..." in Gowalla.

Has the Festive Americano replaced Americano?

Has the Festive Americano replaced the Americano? I use to have the Americano in my "missing" list and recently noticed that I no longer have it missing but I also do not have it vaulted. I do have the Festive Americano vaulted and am wondering if that is the reason why the original Americano is no longer listed as missing for me.

I'm still hunting for an original Americano. :-)

I've been using Hospital as in Animal Hospital; you can probably also go with Doctors Office since a vet is a Doctor for animals.

Richard Lillis reported a problem in Gowalla on December 06, 2009 22:33:

App crashes when switching between spot list and map

iPhone app crashes when I tilt to show map and tilt back to see spot list while map is loading. I can consistently reproduce this; if I wait until the map completely loads and then tilt back to spot list there is no crash.

using version 1.3.0

Thanks for the replies everyone; I feel more comfortable with my "excessive" check-ins :-) Good to hear there are others playing the same way.

Is it wrong to check-in everywhere?

Would it be wrong to walk through a shopping center/plaza/mall and check into every single spot that comes into range? Physically I am there, just not inside the business. I ask because there are a lot of items to collect and they can be found at these spots dropped by others or gifted as a check-in bonus.

Just curious what the community thinks of this type of play. I personally check into spots if they are within range because of my quest for items still not vaulted.

Richard Lillis replied on December 04, 2009 18:51 to the question "Check-in radius too large?" in Gowalla:

For SuperCuts when you view the details tab, are the blue dot and red pin very close? It's possible your phone is not getting a GPS signal and is using cell tower triangulation which is not very accurate and might actually have your location as being where the SuperCuts is located. If the blue dot is where you are standing and the red flag is 2km away then that is strange you can checkin.

would also be nice to split up the Asian Food category. not all Asian foods are the same. :-)

Richard Lillis replied on December 03, 2009 06:52 to the question "Checking in at State spots?" in Gowalla:

I checked the California stamp and there are 2 people who have 2 check-ins; how do you get a second check-in to a state? I'm guessing I would have to leave the state and check into a spot in another state and then return to California and check in to a spot thus returning to CA. but if this is true I would have 2 check-ins myself as I was in NV last weekend so now I'm curious how these people got the second check-in. :-)

A warning that the item is already in your vault would also be nice. :)
