locr: share your geotagged photos
Published on January 30th, 2007 in gps navigation, software, tracking
A new site just launched this month, called locr, that lets you share your geotagged photos. Not only that but you can also view the map to browse the photos from a location of your choice. Once you do that you are also presented with other photos that were taken in locations nearby, even showing with a small arrow the direction in reference to your current position. The integration of Google Maps feels seamless and the rest of the user interface is very intuitive.
When it comes to tagging your photos with latitute and longtitude, locr makes it pretty easy too. You just have to pan / zoom around the map until you find your location and the put a marker. Once you do locr also shows you the closest address to your marker. Also, when available relevant location information on Wikipedia is attached to each photo automatically.
If you have your photos already geotagged you can use the client software to geotag and upload photos automatically. Clients for Windows Mobile and Symbian will follow soon.
