RE: [backstage] Flickr Photo Map...
I think the pages is a limitation of the technology, and perhaps a usability 'feature' for showing that there is actually more results than the map can comfortably show. When you move around the map, and land in one place the JS fires off a request to the API method flickr.photos.search [1] passing the map area [2] and asking for 200 results back [3] in order of relevance [4]. I guess they limit the number of results for speed (both backend database load, and frontend downloading, parsing and displaying the results) - hence the pages.

Re: [backstage] Flickr Photo Map...
Now a useful feature would be the ability to drag someone's incorrectly placed photo across the map to the right spot.That way I could stop greyhounds winning races a good bus ride away from Walthamstow's dog stadium - http://www.flickr.com/photos/emsef/227626652/ - and somebody Sapnish could sort our my errant understanding of Madrid, where I'm not sure if my Real Madrid photos are hovering over their ground or Atleticos - http://www.flickr.com/map/madridPerhaps you could get a message like Such-and-such Flickr person has suggested respositioning photo x to hereI wonder how many URLs like this there are - it gets down to some pretty small places http://www.flickr.com/map/chania (pop 60,000, Crete)and it even makes a semi-passable stab at http://www.flickr.com/map/yorkshire all the best,martinhttp://www.currybet.netOn 10/11/06, Chris Sizemore [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:wow, this one blows me away: http://www.flickr.com/map/birminghamdoes it know I'm geoIP'd in the UK?is anyone in the states right now? does this URL show you birmingham,alabama or brum? bestcs-Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED][mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ] On Behalf Of Tom LoosemoreSent: 10 November 2006 15:12To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.ukSubject: [backstage] Flickr Photo Map... http://www.flickr.com/map/london/Nice...Though I don't understand the logic behind the 'pages' approach-Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.To unsubscribe, please visithttp://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html.Unofficial list archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk/-Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html.Unofficial list archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk/
Re: [backstage] Flickr Photo Map...
well - you're looking at all geo-tagged photos in london is a bit misleading / ambiguous. wouldn't it be better to pull out the geo data and then use the semantic data [words] of places etc? that would at least allow for some value on the photos themselves. they could then say with greater confidence where the image 'is'.having said that it's great how it can take in multiple geo-data 'types' e.g. postcode! http://www.flickr.com/map/N8+ukbut how does flickr know that this photo was taken in N8 for e.g.?http://www.flickr.com/photos/festivalhall/249180992/sure the kings head pub is in crouch end which is in N8 but this isn't explicitly stated on the page. is flickr cross referencing crouch end with postcode data? sorry - i'm dumb. ;-)JBOn 11/10/06, Andrew Disley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:On 10 Nov 2006, at 16:09, James Boardwell wrote: is there any pref given to the data? i.e. geodata / celldata over tags: lodon, greenpark? is it possible to tell?From the page itself:You're looking at All geotagged photos in London. -- voice: 0787 8952479words: http://www.technogoggles.com more words: http://stickrattling.com/blogthing photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mashed_potatoe/
RE: [backstage] Flickr Photo Map...
Not sure what you mean, but I'll attempt to answer the question anyhow :-). I believe it only uses photos that users have geotagged using Flickr's geotagging system - therefore does not try and derive a location from the text tags.
