New Privacy Settings + GPS Location Leveling
When we first launched Pegshot (way way way back in 2009!), a privacy feature was introduced that allowed you publish a specific shot (video or photo) online without having it viewed by the general public. This was especially useful for Pegshot users as we're helping you geo-tag your shots with location data. While many of us see the contextual benefits of location data, we don't always want every shot public. Unfortunately this feature was removed in later versions of Pegshot. That was until today. The latest version of Pegshot (v2.5) now includes a privacy feature. If you wish to post a private shot, simply turn this feature "On" within the upload screen (example below).
Good question! Thanks for asking. We removed the privacy option in preference of a feature called "Location Leveling". Location leveling allows you to control the level of accuracy for the location of each pegged shot. For instance, in the example below you'll find two different ways of pegging a shot:
1. Exact Location "ON" - Your shot is accurately pegged (zoomed in) to a specific location (latitude / longitude). In addition, you can tag this video or photo to local places or events in the area (i.e. John's Pancake House, Jen's Birthday Party, etc.).
2. Exact Location "OFF" - Your shot still includes location information, however it's now pegged a few levels up (zoomed out) to the city/state instead of an exact location. With Pegshot v2.5, you get the best of both worlds; privacy features and location leveling. Check it out here in the app store: http://itun.es/iFT9zP
