ZoneTag Maps
After spending a few days in San Fransisco, Anna and I are driving back east. We are currently in Nevada, where even the slots have slots. On the drive out to Seattle, I kept diligent track of our mileage. Once we got to Seattle, I fired up Google’s ‘My Maps’ and put push pins in every location that we were creating a map of our path that I could share with friends and family.
On the way home i’m going to try something different, a real time generative map using YRB’s ZoneTag. I have the ability to report from anywhere with my cell phone, but without some custom hacking I don’t have the ability to report my location. I’ve used ZoneTag to take photos when my digital camera isn’t handy, but lately i’ve noticed that i’m using it more and more to report my location to my Flickr friends.
To create my real time map with photos, all I have to do is ZoneTag more and put all my photos in a set. I then get my map for free. The photos may not be that great, they’re taken with my beat up Nokia, but they are only one piece of the full story I am able to tell. The other is location.
My version of ZoneTag doesn’t allow me to add the photo to a set directly from the phone. So that still needs to be done manually.
