Mobile GPS Tracking Service

August 15th, 2008 by Valery

Want to see your trip in a Featured Track List on GPSed.com service and to become popular among GPSed users? Follow our simple recommendations and your track may be displayed on our main page!

  1. The track should cover the nice area which will be interesting and pleasant to see for other people. It should be illustrated with photos (several dozens of photos or even more will be very useful).
  2. Upload your track using your account on GPSed.com and make it Public.
  3. Make your account at http://picasaweb.google.com/ or http://www.flickr.com/, create your web-album or photo-set. Upload your photos related to this track into the web album. Please write “photos description” when uploading them into Picasa or FlickR to make your photos more informative.
  4. Add your photos to the track, press “Attach photos” button in the upper right corner of your track’s page.
  5. It is desirable to have photos with geo-position on the track. Photos will be pinned to a map according to the track’s timeline. Photos with no timestamps will be also attached to the track without geotagging.
  6. When viewing your track on track’s page you can specify “track description” of this track. Find “Track description” field and press “Edit”. Many people will be interested to learn more about the area, what is it famous for? What was the reason of the trip and the most exiting events during it?
  7. The most interesting waypoints (with a description) will also make the track more exciting for people.

 

Follow these recommendations carefully and you have a possibility to share your impressions with a large audience of our users. The authors of the best tracks will receive nice gifts: GPSed.com T-shirt, Certificate for 10 USD for our products at www.shapeservices.com, etc.

We hope to learn more about your trips from Featured Tracks at GPSed.com! If you still don’t have GPSed account you have a chance to make it for free and start enjoying this service!
