Updating your location in Foodtruckie

Tweet Location

Twitter has a feature called Tweet Location that allows people to geotag their tweets. This is different from the location field that shows up on the profile for your account. You can use it to include GPS coordinates for individual tweets. And you have control over when and when not to share your location information. Just tweet with a location and your it will also be updated in Foodtruckie. You need to enable Tweet Location in your account settings on Twitter.com.

When tweeting your location, you should only do so when you're at the spot that you're serving from. When on your way to a new spot or doing something else you can still tweet freely but should not include your location for those tweets. This will result in better location information for potential customers from Foodtruckie and will be less confusing to your Twitter followers.
