Comments on: Interactive Map of My Blog Photos http://regex.info/blog/2009-11-01/1346 Not a photo blog. A personal blog with photos.

What I'd really love to be able to do is see this for my offline photo database. I've heard iPhoto does that automatically, but I don't currently have a Mac. Not only would an interactive map of all your photos be a really cool thing to have, but it would also greatly help with keywording, allowing easy conversion of GPS data into place names and such. In theory your Proximity Search can already help with this, but in practice geographical borders need to be judged visually so it's quite fiddly. Jeffrey, do you have any experience with iPhoto? Any advice for how I could implement a map like this? <span class='jfriedl'>I don't know anything about iPhoto, sorry. I built this myself using the Google Maps API... I wonder whether their photo app, Picasa, might have it built in? —Jeffrey</span> This is a really great feature. What I’d really love to be able to do is see this for my offline photo database.

Possible and how long would it take for us to do it? Again, awesome blog Jeffrey! <span class='jfriedl'>Hey there Clint. This was a lot of custom programming for me, but if she uploads her geoencoded photos to Flickr, PicasaWeb, etc., I'm pretty sure that they have "view on map" options. —Jeffrey</span> My wife loves this page and wants her pics of our MicroCredit farmers and Cafe’ kids to show like this in our flash layer on our site.
