The Azure Sphere Challenge Heat Map!

Noticed I have been moved from one state to another in the USA because of my city name exiting in multiple parts of the country.  So zip code seems to no longer play a role in your location on the map.

peterfenn hi Peter! Has anything changed with how the heat map reckons a user's location?

My kit also disappeared from map some days ago, although its location was displayed perfectly before.
Fortunately it is still listed in the leaderboard

danzima The competition server doesn't seem to be registering my device today. I sent the data this morning and I just tried it twice and didn't get the confirmation email even though the app appeared to have sent the data. My data isn't showing in the heat map. That'll mean I'll miss a day and fail to reach the required 15 days in a row.

Hi Steve, thanks for letting me know! We will be sure to count all the days you submit towards the 15 day requirement, and we understand that there might be days of technical problems or personal reasons why the continuous daily sync doesn't happen (within reason), so you'll be just fine.

peterfenn have you seen any other reports of contest server problems?

Recent changes to protect the privacy of users (suppression of ZIP code based location and the abbreviation of the device names) has introduced some issues which are now being worked-on 

I can report that, although I am no longer receving the automatic confirmation emails, my device sync is being registered on the heatmap and that I have achieved 15 consecutive daily syncs. I notice that the location reporting is now different and the UK devices now appear as "UK" rather than "united kingdom" (plus a lot of other "tidying up").

One more day for me, but since I'm still the only one in AU, it seems that my "bubble" has disappeared until either I filter for "Australia" or zoom in enough on the map. While the names are censored and countries are cleaned in the list, the filter dropdowns on the left still seem to have the full set of data. I didn't get an e-mail for my sync today either, but it seems to have counted just fine.

I'm back on the back map in my original location.... life is good!
