Not only figuratively speaking (promoting python), but for practical reasons
also, e.g.
Pythoon theft, Bipolar travel, and networking...
Imagine someone had snapped pictures of the Pythoon and uploaded while it was
missing around where Dirk has mentioned
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=55.400016,10.386647&daddr=Rug%C3%A5rdsvej+37,+5000+Odense,+Denmark&hl=en&ie=UTF8&sll=55.399684,10.376866&sspn=0.008091,0.024827&geocode=FVBWTQMd13yeAA%3BFWJSTQMdODGeACm3EUEr5N9MRjE4bMX2OY-j3Q&mra=ls&dirflg=w&t=h&z=16&lci=com.panoramio.all
As part of the mobility/usability test, the bipolar went on a recent trip to
Albany, Cambridge/Boston, and LA, mostly trails and parks. My Garmin 295W has
a built-in camera w/ geo tagging which has been quite handy on the trip.
Photos were taken at rest location along the route, which should help the
community track it down... All went well, so the photos now serve a travel
log. http://www.panoramio.com/user/6086163/tags/Bipolar
On http://maps.google.com/ there is option to display photos, which is powered
by Panoramio (Google's target
acquisition, http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/annc/annc_panoramio.html) It
seems quite easy to use, other than the lack of batch uploading, which may have
something to do with the unlimited storage allowance. So far, I have only
found a way via batch uploading to Picasa, then one click for each photo to
Panoramio.

It seems that Panoramio has to select / approve the photos before they can be
searched. In the mean time, the forum may be a way to connect...
