Parę dni zabaw z
Google Maps,
Flickr,
Geobloggers zaowocowało następującymi odkryciami...
UŻYWAJ
FIREFOXA!!!!! Rozszerzenia Java które można dodać do Google Maps i Flickr-a sprawiają, że wszystko staje się prostsze!!!
Następnie - używaj FLICKra!!! Jest to bardyo dynamiczna, żywa platforma!!! Po przejściu z Pbase poczułem bardzo świeży powiew...
Dalej - zakładając, że masz Firefoxa oraz że założyłaś konto na Flickerze - no i że udało Ci się załadować tam jakieś zdjęcia ...
Musisz zainstalować następujący STAF:
Greasemonkey (pozwoli ci to na załadowanie wymienionych poniżej skryptów w Javie)
SKRYPTY na Greasemonkey napisane przez Yuan.CC :
*OK Idę spać, reszta po angielsku, przetłumacze jutro pewnie...
(Once you have GReasmonkey up and running, installing the scripts themselves is simple - you click on the link, see some code on-screen, go to Tools/Install User Script, click OK and that0s it)
Another useful Script is the one that lets you jump from a location in Google Map directly to Geobloggers... It's to be downloaded
here. (provided by Steeev, see
here.)
Once all the scripts are in place, the process is relatively simple.
1. upload your picture to FLickr.
2. go to Maps.Google:com and locate the spot to which the picture is to be linked (preferably on a separate tab . )
3. double click on the exact spot - you should see it's coordinates (preceded with "geotagged", in a box titled Tags for Geobloggers on your right) - copy them to clipboard
4. go back to the Flickr and paste the coordinates in the box you see after selecting "add tags" command
5. reload the picture (refresh) and press the Gmap button on top of your picture... wait a moment et VOILA... you see Google Maps fragment with a pin indicating a precise location of the picture above...
6. (you could also add the following:
geotagged to a picture comment (Add your comment) and the click on it - by doing so your picture will be sooner added to the geobloggers register)
X. This
link (from MAKE) gives a prescription on how to add similar functionality to Google Earth - a standalone application "replacing" and "enhancing" Google Maps... But the only thing there is to do after going through all the above is to open
this in Google Earth....
Y. if you go back to google maps and click on Check for GeoTagged Images. you should be directed to geoblogger in which you will see ALL the pictures (not only yours) which have been geotagged to the chosen location....
UPDATE: I discovered only now that I "reinvented the wheel"... Oh well... Here's a
link to Steeev's blog explaining all this - only much better :)
