Malaysia photo gallery with Google maps
I've added Google maps to my photo gallery site. Some examples of how it
looks: http://www.molon.de/galleries/Malaysia/ http://www.molon.de/galleries/Malaysia/Sabah/ http://www.molon.de/galleries/Laos/ (maps at the bottom of the page) The idea would be to enhance the user experience. Since there are so many ways of adding a Google map (you can choose the type, size, user controls, position on the page etc.), I was wondering what you think of the way I did it and what could be improved. By the way, there are many new photos of Malaysia in the Malaysia gallery. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |

Malaysia photo gallery with Google maps
A convenient upgrade. I am not familiar with other possibilities but this
was useful. I suppose a direct link between the actual location of the scenes and the map would be even better. [I found Champasak as I've been there. Might be harder for others.] Probably too much work. "Alfred Molon" wrote in message ... I've added Google maps to my photo gallery site.

In article , John
Keiser says... I suppose a direct link between the actual location of the scenes and the map would be even better. [I found Champasak as I've been there. Might be harder for others.] Probably too much work. The other way round (map to gallery) is possible, see for example: http://www.dopplr.com/place/jp http://www.benoa.net/china/ Clicking on the icons opens the corresponding gallery or page. From picture or gallery to map is doable, by storing the coordinates in the picture or gallery page and adding a link through which a page with a map opens. Maybe I do it when I find some time - it's a cool idea. Easy to implement if the camera has a GPS receiver and stores the coordinates of each shot in the EXIF. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |

I stand corrected: as soon as I click on the page link the map changes to
the appropriate area. This is very, very nice. "Alfred Molon" wrote in message ... In article , John Keiser says...

Keiser says... I stand corrected: as soon as I click on the page link the map changes to the appropriate area. This is very, very nice. In fact every site or major location is supposed to get its own map. I've added more maps yesterday, bringing up to the total to 90. Still some work to do, because the site has 900 galleries. The maps BTW have the full set of controls of Google maps: they are zoomable, shiftable (move the mouse with the pressed left key), and you can choose the view type (map, satellite, physical map etc.). In fact Google maps is great. The only problem is that Google maps is not so detailed in south east Asia, for instance the Perhentian islands Google map is a bit weird and the area around Mt Kinabalu has very little detail. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |
