Addon - easyMap for pixelpost (photos on google maps)

Hi,
it's so much fun for me to work with pixelpost, so here is the next addon from me :-)

I have a geologging device (gps datalogger) to record my "photo-trips". Normally I geotag my photos afterwards, and it's my wish visitors can see this information right out of the box in my pixelpost installation.

I searched some time for something similar, and there are some google-maps integrations out there, but I had something different in my mind. An easy and simple link opening the map after a click!

easyMap provides two Template Tags (for your image_template file):
  • <EASY_MAP_LINK>: displays a link opening a google-maps overlay, or, if no geodata was found, a text message.
  • <EASY_MAP_LOCATION>: displays a link with the format: city/state/country opening a google-maps overlay, or, if no geodata was found, a text message.

You can see a demo here: Link to my photoblog
Click on comments&details to see the link.

The link opens a lightbox-style map overlay, with a marker on it, showing the photo-position (from the EXIF).

For Installation instructions and the download visit the pixelpost extend repository.




Geotagging
I wrote down some information in this thread here.
Software you can use to geotag:
so,
feel free to tell me what you think, and if it works.
Well, are there any "geotaggers" at all?

Kind regards
Andreas
