My map report:
- all available GPS values of 9/04 converted to decimal notation (i'm going to send
this to Landis to include it into the master database)
- online map demo updated
- scaled down the previews for faster loading time
- 120 GPS notations entered, 59 panos (i.e. 1/3) without GPS.
- problem with markers too close to another not solved yet - still
"inaccessible/hidden" panoramas on the map
http://www.panoramas.de/panoramas/wwpmap/
or:
http://www.asamnet.de/~altendom/pseudomains/panoramas/wwpmap/
(in case the panoramas.de redirection service doesn't work, i've received a few
reports of hanging connections...)
Since Multimap.com was mentioned a few times here (or was it on
#removed#?), this could be a nice add-on to the WWP site: Pasting the
lat/long values from the database into a multimap URL on each page would provide a
local map for each GPS-equipped panorama, popping up in a new window for good WWW
behaviour. Example:
http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=45.0269&lon=4.6496&sc...
There shouldn't be a legal problem with this, since it's an "official" URL and
they're themselves presenting this shortcut on every map they generate.
However, Multimap is obviously commercial, so i don't know if that's desired or not.
Opinions?
