Mobile GPS Tracking Service

April 14th, 2008 by Valery

Dear GPSed users,

We have some great news - now you can explore maps not only with GPSed tracks and photos, but with photos from Panoramio!

All you need is just to open any track, e.g. this one: “Walk trip by Vienna”, and click on any Panoramio marker right on the map. You can scroll and zoom map and Panoramio photos will be loaded for the region you are currently viewing. Also you can click on any Panoramio photo and read discussions about it. So now tracks surfing’ is more fun and interesting.

As always, there are many other UI and usability improvements, for example: now you can search only within tracks with photos. To do this you need to enable checkbox “Search only with Photos” in Search tab.

Note: For correct working of updated version of GPSed.com web-service please clear the cache of your browser or make a full reload of web-pages (Ctrl+F5 in your browser)

Please pay attention that Panoramio photos are not visible on the highest zoom levels.

We appreciate any comments and recommendations regarding the service. You can leave your feedback in our Support Form, contact us directly or post your comments right here.

This a GREAT service and great site .. i love and highly recommend GPSed to everyone with a gps phone.

I especially like the picture uploading feature - however i have one recommendation to make. Currently to attach pics to the trail i need to upload them first on Picasa (or Flirk) but once i choose the folder in picasa it uploads ALL of them :( so each time i have to first clear the folder then upload the ones i want attached then use the GPSed interface.
1) would it be possible to just upload from my hard drive directly to GPSed??
2) if not (because you don’t want the pictures stored there or don’t want to build that interface) .. could you please JUST ADD A FEATURE that allows me to choose the Picasa folder and then ONLY the pics i want to upload?? THAT WOULD BE GREAT !!

Thanks again for your program and site !!
It is the best software for Berries .. :))
AP.
