Using Google Maps With a Photo Album

Posted by kdawson on from the stick-a-pin-in-it dept.

When you click a pin, up pops the highlight photo for the albums at that location. Clicking again brings up that album. Makes a great front page to a gallery. Includes a demo with 200 albums from the author's travels. He provides all his code for interfacing with Google maps. Seriously awesome feature for people who travel a lot."

  1. I tried doing this with my pics from New Orleans by WillAffleckUW · · Score: 2, Interesting

    but at first it showed the devastated areas I had visited as if they weren't devastated - and now it shows them from six months ago.

    This might make sense if you're not visiting an area that changes much, but for those of us who like to visit places that change, it can have some unanticipated and mind-altering results.
