Find the coolest lights in town with Christmas ELF

For some people the holidays bring light extravaganzas that are complete eyesores: December 26th can't come fast enough. For others, there's nothing like a drive around the neighborhood to see the care and dedication the folks have put into their seasonal displays, and it wouldn't be the holidays without them.

If you're part of the latter group, Christmas ELF - electronic light finder aims to help you find the best displays in town. The app shows a simple google map overlay of green and red pins: Green for displays voted up, and red for those that others feel don''t make the cut. While the newest version of the app is solid, unfortunately the first released made it quite easy to accidentally drop pin, without any means to remove it. The issue is gone, but errant pins from early adopters are still scattered throughout.

Although some may think it would spoil the fun, I would like the ability to take a picture of the display and upload it. That way, you could get a preview to make it easy to see if the display is really worth the drive. Also, (I assume for privacy reasons) the actual address of the displays is unavailable, so if you're going into some streets you don't normally traverse, you may have trouble finding the displays.

Here's a look:
