Google Maps + Picasa Web Albums = Fun fun fun
I don’t know how long this feature has been available, but those nutty folks at Google have gone and done it again. I just found out tonight that you can upload your photos, pinpoint exactly where they were taken in Google Maps, and then view them together. Here are some photos I’ve tagged:
- Pictures at Hat Rock, Oregon last July
- Track meet on my son’s 16th birthday
- My youngest son winning the county spelling contest last year, and then
- Where he competed at the state level
- Father’s day, 2006
- Where my dad caught a coho salmon on the Columbia River, December of 2006
For the full effect, select on the “Satellite” view, and then scroll in as far as possible to see the precise location they were taken.
I had a lot of fun just finding these. This really adds a twist to the old photo album concept, doesn’t it?
