Photo POI
May 16th, 2007
RUNNINGMAP has added a new feature called a Photographic Point of Interest. Basically this means you can add a photo to a location on the map. I don’t want to host photos so all that runningmap stores is a URL to the location of a photo hosted somewhere else. Users have two choices: paste in a URL or pick one from their Flickr photos.
Y! quietly updated their map tiles last night. If you zoom out in map mode you will see topographic features. Very nice. They also upgraded their geocoder. I am not sure at this time what the new features are but I found that I need to be more precise in the addresses I put in. For example, St. Albert, Alberta does not get me to my city anymore. But, entering “St. Albert, Alberta, Canada” does.
