Thanks so much for putting that script together! I know you did it some time ago but it helped me out today.

Our site is a wiki with google maps showing kml output from Google Earth. Your script lets me overlay photos from a corresponding set we have at Flickr…. something Yahoo can’t seem to figure out.

While I put together an automated system for dynamically generating the kml, the files will be manually updated, but one step at a time. We will make sure to link back to you when we finish the “how-to” page.

Thanks!

I was wondering if there would be a way to get this to work in my own API google maps, but the twist would be to get it to get my goups flickr pool to display instead?

Great stuff!

One idea for the future: a option to add a GPS track in the KML from a previous KML or GPX file.

Best regards.

[...] which accounts for the straight lines on the map. I used Adam Franco’s wonderful ‘flickr PhotoSet to KML‘ script to generate a KML of my photo set that I combined with the GPS data in Google Earth. [...]

Hi Adam,

awsome script! Wow! The only thing thats need to get perfect would be using sets which are only for family and friends. Would it be possible to implement this?

goddert,

The problem is that GoogleMaps only waits a brief moment for the input KML file to load. If your set has too many pictures, then my script will take a few seconds to load and GoogleMaps will give you that ‘File not found’ error.

To get around this limitation, use the option to download the KML file. Your browser will wait for the KML to load as long as needed. Once you have saved it to your desktop you can upload it to a website somewhere and link to it in GoogleMaps from there. Since at that point in only needs to be transferred to Google’s server, not processed, even larger sets should work.

Thanks for the update about Firefox 3. I’ll look into that.

Hi,

seems your script has some difficulties at the moment. Choosing Google Maps as option and any other icon style than square leads to an error in Google Maps: File not found. The same if I switch on “Draw Line”. I can’t verify whether it is a time out problem of your server (means it doesn’t manage it to create the file in time) or anything else.

By the the way this article has some difficulties with Firefox 3

Thanks
