Mappr Photos

Published in Geolocation, Photography  |  4 Comments

You can view my geographically located photographs by accessing My (temporary?) Mappr page. Pretty slick.

    So Flickr/Mappr accepts your keywords as evidence of location?

    Yes, in Flickr you specify the town, state, and I guess country, where the photo was taken. For example, a picture taken in Detroit, Michigan. would have the tags: Detroit Michigan USA.

    Just need to watch that tags with spaces (like “Ann Arbor”) need to have quotes around them. Example.

    Of course, I’m look at a Perl script that can pull GPS data from the Exif of a photo and another Flash app that can then use this info to display it on a map of my own. So much better to roll your own solution. :)

    Actually, the tags “Ann” and “Arbor” will be correctly placed in Ann Arbor, if they are in that order. I was finding enough cases like “Las” + “Vegas” that I combine the tags in order, to look for place names with spaces in them. Play around with http://mappr.com/feed/ to get an idea of the way we parse tags.

    Thanks for the info Michael. When do you plan on supporting exif geodata? There is a really good perl-based exif reader that seems like it would tie in nicely with the Flickr API.
