Google Maps Apps @ uBRDO

7 Hills of KirklandScotty over at uBRDO sent us a link to a new feature on his store site - a Google Maps Photo GeoLocator.

I did something like this a while back to associate latitude/longitude data with a Google map, then associate photos too it. The hard part? Getting Lat/Long associated with the photos in the first place. The ubiquitous iPhone. It uses triangulation software to approximate a location. I’ve used a GPS enabled camera, but again you face the limitations of line-of-sight. I’d love to build something like this for Vegas to photoblog the show<a/>, the ride, the race, and the social “ but in the mean time I’ll be checking out the adventures posted on Scott’s site.

I’ve had pretty good luck geotagging photos using a Qstarz BT-Q1000 and GPSPhotoLinker. As long as the camera’s clock is fairly accurate and you’re not inside an RF-shielded building, the results are pretty good. And when you’re outside, it’s much more accurate than a tower-triangulated position.

I use a GPS program called Topofusion(created by a cyclist no less) that links photos to location using time stamp.  It’s always worked quite well for me.

be forewarned… this is still a work in progress. so it still ain’t as pretty as i’d like it to be! there are a few bugs!

the next step (aside from making it work reliably…), is getting it to pull in photos you push to the web based on tags…

soon soon.. bwahhhaaahaaa
