Cheers Niklaas,
The website is developed using the Silverstripe CMS, [email protected] is
the guy behind the web mapping stuff. The images are retrieved using a custom
web service, from a local image database (now with several 100,000 images).
Commercial application called Atlas (www.atlamd.com).
We funded the development of a map search for images in Atlas, which we are
looking to update at present. See the map searchtool at
https://atlas.niwa.co.nz/public.jsp
Enable Assets - images (right of map)
update the map (button top right of map)
(don't zoom right now - the back end web map server is broken)
Choose the left hand Marquee selection tool (box)
draw a box around some area with images on the map
the images in that box will be displayed...
(note that I've just added about 16,000 echogram images - they are being
processed, with thumbnails, etc being generated in a low priority background
job - so you'll see lots of entries with no thumbnails until that completes)
This also seems to be very similar to the sort of facility you are looking at
implementing - images associated with features (or locations) on a map which
can be previewed & downloaded.
I'm considering developing a QGIS plugin to provide similar access from a map
based desktop - part of this initiative:

OK, great I'll have a look at it!

This looks great! I could at least digg in the code and get some ideas.

Definitely! Thank you,
