Using Google Maps With a Photo Album 81

neil1979 writes "This site has a tutorial on using Google Maps with your photo album. Each album has a latitude and longitude so it shows up as a pin on a map of the world. When you click a pin, up pops the highlight photo for the albums at that location. Clicking again brings up that album. Makes a great front page to a gallery. Includes a demo with 200 albums from the author's travels. He provides all his code for interfacing with Google maps. Seriously awesome feature for people who travel a lot."

    Travels to new places? Jeez, what about old familiar places for those of us who live boring, mundane lives?

    You might say, "but of course, what's to stop you from plotting movements in your daily life?"

    That's exactly the problem. You see, we need new satellite technology (or a voyeuristic photographer, whichever is cheaper) so that I can accurately plot the following morning routine on Google Maps:

    1.) Wake up in my bedroom facing north with the huge windows (hint hint)
    2.) Go into the bathroom approximately 0.001 degrees away from my bedroom (unfortunately, I use refracting glass, so it might be a bit tough to see where I move around in my bath tub)
    3.) Eat toast on my dinner table

    but at first it showed the devastated areas I had visited as if they weren't devastated - and now it shows them from six months ago.

    This might make sense if you're not visiting an area that changes much, but for those of us who like to visit places that change, it can have some unanticipated and mind-altering results.

    Because Yahoo owns them?
