Flickervision – sneak peek around the globe

Heard about flickervision? A site showing realtime geotagged Flickr pictures on a Google world map. Neat site, the pictures pop-ups nice and smooth. Should be really interesting if you could select pictures from your own album / tags.

Good pipes from yahoo

Well, now the Yahoo pipe seems to work. Use this link to se my geotagged pictures from FLICKR in Google Maps. Amazing!

(Just change the nsid parameter in the above link, to show your own flickr photos)

In combination with the logs from my trip you get a really cool photo album. Take a look at this screendump from the Andes (Merida, Venezuela) and see for yourself. The red line is my GPS log (I went by telerifa to 5000meter and back) and the yellow pins are photos taken during the tripp, auto-mapped using Sony GPS Image Tracker. Neat!

Yahoo Pipes – Export FLICKR pix to google earth

Found an interesting discussion concerning geocoding on Flickr today. There was “pipe” developed to export gecoded photos in Flickr directly to google earth. Have been looking for something like this, since I think Google Earth is a excellent program to use if you wan’t to make a cool presentation of your travel photos…However the links to the pipe didn’t export any pictures when I tried it today!?

Here is a link to the pipe, if you have an FLICKR ID, you can try if on your own.

Flickrfly is cool, but can only server one picture at a time.  I will continue to examine the pipe and see how to get it started to serve full albums to Google Earth.

GPS Fixed

Got my GPS CS1 back. Sony could not fix it the stuck on/off button(?!), so i got a brand new unit instead (for free). Thanx Sony! After a short look at the wrapping and the CS1, no updates seems to be made. In other words, it’s exactlly the same vesion as the broken one. Hopes this one will survive more than 3 months of geocoding.

Soon you will have som brand new geocoded photos and different environements to test the GPS in.
