- 08:57am Dec 12, 2005 PSTvia emailHoliday season is definitely a time when people get together and take rolls
and rolls (flashcards and flashcards?) of photos. What better way to share
this than on the net with a photo gallery?
Now to my question at hand which relates to this... Google offers its Google
Maps which seems to be a fabulous way of documenting trips and whatnot for
those who are map-inclined.
What I would like to do is find a way to generate a photo gallery web site
with the Mac in such a way that a map can be in one 'frame' and the picture
can be in the other. I just don't see any app out there that can help me
generate such a thing without manually hand-coding each page.
i.e. an overview map showing where the photos were taken with various markers
attached. Click on the marker and a preview either shown in the bubble or
another page is spawned. Click on the forward/backward on the picture page
and the marker on the google map is updated.
Surely there are some Mac apps out there that would make generating such a
page relatively simple? MacUpdate/VersionTracker/Google searches haven't
shown anything that is immediately obvious.

I think Frappr allows you to do this. It's a combination of Google Maps and
Flickr.

There's a much better alternative - try this site for posting and
publishing your travel sites...
www.ballofdirt.com
The mapping feature in it allows you to track (and measure) the whole
journey from beginning to end, on a map of the world, while you
travel. Upload photos, keep your travelogue up to date, and publish
to your friends and family (or not, and password it for your own
access only). Registration is free.
Not quite the frame-within-a-frame you'er looking for perhaps, but it
serves the purpose in a different way maybe.

Unless I'm missing something, the maps are only at a very large scale. I've
been trying to make gmaps, but it's too complicated for me (and it seems
that Google repeatedly makes updates which don't work on Macs and Firefox).
Is there a GMaps for Dummies site or program?
