GoalsCreate a Google Map with clickable pictures and track (enlarge the screenshot to better understand the main steps) . Example: Bike ride in the black forest, germany, 19th of may 07 Stroll around a water fall in Germany,6 may 07 Around Mummelsee lac in Black Forest Cycling near "the Donon" in Alsace, France StepsBefore geocoding in GPicSync:
To view your pictures and track in Google Maps:
When you click on a camera icon you'll see a thumbnail of the picture. If you click on it the full size version will appear in your browser. A good idea is to click with the middle button of your mouse so it will appear in a separate tab in Firefox or IE7 (you won't have to reload your Google Map each time). Warning, if you have more than 50 pictures it looks like Google Maps website won't show all of them. |

Hello, It doesn't seem to work. Here's the URL I copied the doc-web.kml file, and the photos to: https://home.comcast.net/~mrfahey/doc-web.kml. When I enter this in the map search box, it asks me if I mean, "doc-web.xml". Thank you, Richard
Hello rmfahey, It looks like Google Maps don't like the "https" in your URL. I've used the same URL in google maps but exchanged "https" for "http" and it seems to works now (ie http://home.comcast.net/~mrfahey/doc-web.kml). Thanks for this feedback.
How can I link my photos stored on my picasa web?
Cannot seem to get this to work in Googlemaps. I have confirmed the pics, thumbs and kml file are in place. http://www.lakedawgs.com/geocode/pics/doc-web.kml Any help appreciated.
For those getting an error 404, you may need to ensure the .kml mime-type is setup on your server. For IIS use application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml and for Apache use AddType? application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml .kml in the httpd.conf file.
