Picasa Web Album Maps!

No hike today. It was just too darn hot!


I wanted to tell you about a cool new feature in Picasa Web Albums. You can include a map showing the general location at which you took pictures, and you can even place album pictures on a map to show exactly where they were taken. I've mapped some pictures in a few albums (usually not all pictures in an album, or it would be too cluttered), so browse through and check it out. Scroll to the bottom of an album and click on "View Map". For the places I tend to take pictures, you will need to click on Hybrid in the upper right corner of the map so see anything meaningful. The map will have some pictures on it; click on one for an enlarged view, and then you can scroll through them, too. In case you haven't figured it out, you can get to an album by clicking on the picture in some of my blogs.


You can also click on "View in Google Earth", which is really cool because you can change your viewing angle and get a feel for the terrain.
