Streamlined Photo and Track File Uploads

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

It’s been a while since we added this feature, but, just in case you haven’t noticed, we think we ought to mention it here. The add trip wizard has been redesigned and is now hopefully even easier to use. You can now add a whole folder of photos and GPS tracks through the TripTracker web [...]

We care a lot about the presentation layer and wanted to have full control over how the photo gallery interacts with the map. (Not to mention that acquiring and processing hi-res satellite imagery [...]

Importing Photos from Flickr

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

Flickr users can now create trips from photos hosted on Flickr, instead of uploading original photos from their computer. This will save you some bandwith [and hopefully save us some disk space ].
The feature should be especially appealing to those that already have geo-data embedded in their Flickr photos. The [...]

TripTracker Adds Support for Geotagged Photos
