Photo Map
I have been wanting to do a photo travelogue web page of the cycling tours that I have gone on for the past 5 years for a long while now. It has been on the back of my mind, bubbling away and yesterday I ran into a Gallery2 Module which makes what I wanted to do so much easier. It is based around the Google Map API and lets you enter longitude and latitude coordinates for each photo, the photo is then marked on a Google Map and clicking on it brings up a thumbnail of the image.
There is also a way of creating routes on the map, which I find very interesting I want to take all the entries from my travel diary and build up the routes that I cycled around the world. Right now I have only a couple of photos on the map and no routes but I am searching for a quick way of finding the coordinates of a town or a village for easy addition. Also it would be nice to have notes giving the date, kilometers travelled that day and the average speed.
I have added a tab called “Cycle Tours” in the header of the site or you can go to the Photo Map section from this link.
