How are you linking the image to its geolocation?
the image already has lat/lng attached. > Why are > you not simply using the geotag data to identify the image? because 360cities.net/image/54.354341,-2.235632_1 is not a nice looking url :) Pretty sure talking about the 'permalink' to get to the page, rather than the .jpg filename itself (which is far less important) > > Using an address to identify a location seems really odd, I'm afraid. > Addresses do change. Geographic coordinates don't. nowhere says looking to use an "address"! But rather a friendly snub. the unique snub generated will refer to the image forever so wont matter if the actual address changes. My personal recommendation is to look at the "places" and shapefiles from flickr/yahoo. (Using the Google Maps API Geocoder might be dubious from a Terms point of view anyway) Or have a look at how GNavLabelControl works - that more like what is trying to be done here rather than pure geocoding. > > > Andrew > > > -- Barry - www.nearby.org.uk - www.geograph.org.uk - --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
