Adding Google Maps to Your Photo Album

Written by Neil Galloway
 

This has got to be one of the coolest custom web applications I have seen. A coworker of mine has use Google Maps to indicate the location his albums were photographed at.

If you check out the screenshot below you can see how it works. Using the Google maps API, he attaches a longitude and latitude value to each one of his albums. He uses these to put pins on a global map for the various locations he has been.

If you click on each pin, it will bring up the album or albums that are available with their highlight photo. You can then click and enter the album. You can even zoom Google Maps into his homecity of Calgary and it will show you where in the city the album was done at.

This is seriously impressive. If you want to do it yourself, he has provided a brief tutorial on his site.
