Maps. And Photos. My two big life passions* in one seamless application.
Pinch me, I’m dreaming.
Christmas came early for me, this year. That’s the rest of my week out the window, then.
Find out where my photos were taken by browsing my photo map.
* Apart from Paul and Pickle, obviously.
Meg,
If you like maps and photos you may like our project Panoramio.com, a community of geotagged photos. Panoramio includes a drag and drop geotagging interface to locate your photos over Google Maps, much better for UK than Yahoo Map.
Photos with geodata in EXIF are automatically located in Panoramio. You also can watch the photos in Google Earth through Panoramio’s KML feeds, what is quite amazing.
Hope you like it,
Eduardo
Service idea: great. Maps: suck. With London, trying to navigate by A-roads and small rivers is a headache. Wish parks were included it would make life so much easier (for locations in London and Edinburgh). Islands with one road much easier I see!
Yeah, it’s not great. I’m going for the satellite view, mostly, and applying a general approach to the rest - if it’s within the right area, then great.
Of course, if I was being really careful about it, I could go to a good mapping service (like googlemaps) and then copy the specific geodata coordinates back into the flickr thingy.
Not sure I can be arsed, though, really…
Yeah didn’t realise yahoo maps had satellite view (got blinded by all the new tools to play with). Edinburgh satellite pic quality not great but good enough. The road positions in the normal maps are a joke. Can also find spots by postcode searches in the map and dropping photo in middle of the resulting map (very rough). I had a few photos I dropped vanish later and have to be readded. Fun way to spend an hour or two (or day or two with real geodata). Need a tickbox to add an ‘approx’ label/tag to entries.
May I plug mine: screenshot and
map.
Sorry to spam comments, oh for edit comments.
That is freaking awesome.
