Put your photos on the map with various webservices
Together with Google maps has a number of services popping up and developed, where you can select a location on the map. On selection, you can then link to an image or pair it with a movie even. Some are not so difficult to use either, and can be a good way to select a site for a friend or perhaps show where there was a tree growing with image on the tree. With these tools, we can identify all the earth together.
I discovered the World Explorer, operated and developed by Yahoo, where you’ve linked the map (Yahoo maps) to Flickr, so those who want to outsource their images on the World Explorer. In Flickr, there is the possibility of linking their pictures to places even if it is not so simple. However, I think World Explorer is a fun way to explore different cities. Now that if you put your images it can be seen all over through Flickrs API. I think you can opt out that.
Easier to use and really useful when you want, for example, show their favorite spot for a friend and associate it with an image of the place is Tagzania. Tagzania is using Google maps, but is a stand-alone service so you must register in order to begin use it. If I for example where to meet a friend at the pub “Tranan” at Odenplan so I simply put out a marker and places where a URL where the image is located. It may be on Flickr or another URL where you have your image. Each marker may be a URL, so it’s easy for you to copy and mail your friend, he finds crane at Odin. What could be better would be printed, which I can recommend. You can also see other tags on the map so you can find other markings. Nature photographer may be able to select the various observation points and share with their friends.
The third and final service, Community Walk is also really useful because you can mark out a path so you can show your walk or jog addition, you can add various media files. You can add there voice, images and video. Kristian from Bitlab Malmoe did a tour of Old Town in Stockholm. Christian has stayed here and there to film and he has marked the way he has gone. This would surely be a great way for tourist to show off their city by going out and filming short little snippets that are then put into the grid. You were going to shoot myself maybe your childhood town and talk about different places where you made little mischief. That would be fun if Lisa had a small matkaravan for the network as they themselves could follow. You can use Google Translate to translate it to your language, if your curious.
