Last week we got a makeover and, we must admit, we’re feeling pretty good.  We’re sporting some new colors throughout the experience – hope you like baby blue!  And, we made some functional changes that make GyPSii easier to use and navigate.

The most immediate update is the information box, now on the right hand side of the news feed.  This box is home to your information, including your location map, friends, rating and if you have a new message or friend request there will be a notice waiting for you there (aren’t you popular).

The ‘Explore’ button moved north and now sits among other top bar menu items. The feature itself has undergone a major overhaul in terms of both look and function.  When you open ‘Explore’ you’ll find two options, the list option and the new map-based interface, this means that virtually every action you take can be viewed on the map.  For example, as you scroll over the people, places, and points of interest, call outs will appear on the map.  All your results are based on your current location, but you can easily see what’s happening in other places by dragging and dropping your big red location pin – doing so will automatically adjust all the results based on the new location.  You can also narrow your searches solely to people, places, or points of interest or any combination of the three.  Check it out!

This is just one update to our webtop user experience – you can expect many more in the future.  We believe in evolving the web experience, so we never stop working to improve GyPSii. Our drive for constant improvement is not limited to the web; we’re also hard at work updating the host of mobile applications. If you’re not using GyPSii on your phone checkout the latest mobile versions supported here.

We don’t want to miss a beat.  GyPSii is only as strong as our users and your experience.  If you have any feedback please get in touch with us, find ‘Feedback’ under ‘More Stuff’ on the top menu, we’d love to hear from you.
