It looks to me like IdeaPlaces is totally defunct. (See their web page, their twitter feed, etc.)
I know my particular use case includes a tactile sense of discovery around *where I was* when a note or photo was taken. I've been an Evernote Premium member since 2011, and I was very disappointed when the ability to search by map was taken away.
I understand the business case for eliminating features that are rarely used, but I really wish you would reconsider.
