Thumbnails for geotagged pictures as icon on map!

berkley shared this idea 11 years ago
Completed

Hi everybody,


i grabbed up an idea from Andy:


As we already can choose the icons for our POIs, wouldn`t it be nice to have a thumbnail for our geotagged pictures on the map?


Hope you understand and all like this idea :D


Cheers, berkley

...but if implemented, it should be optional, defined in settings, or even better in the single POI itself.

Basically, there are a lot of things you could do with "custom" POI icons...


- geotagged Flickr pics


- personal contacts with adresses from your phonebook


- Latitude Contacts moving on the map


- preview pictures from car/house selling sites


- tweets happening around you


- and so on...


i think, you get the idea :D

no question about size... 48x48.png


storage location should be some "cache", imagine, you delete some pics on your device and still see it in Locus...

I`m just working on it. You`re of course right. These icons are still to big, so don`t worry, I`ll resize them ;)

it`s independent of the size defined in settings, anyway compare to this settings, it`s close to huge

Brilliant idea. It will give great opportunities for showing KML imported points! But, Menion, no possibility to configure the size? what if somebody has small display and somebody else has tablet display?

"kml imported points"? This is applied only on display of photos with coordinates in EXIF data


and define size ... size is automatically reduced for lower screens, so it will not be same number of pixels on small screen as on a huge screens

1. sure, but if you implement this for photos, i believe that will open the door for the future use in points


2. perfect

Nice screens ;)


So how does it basically work?


Data -> Points -> create category "My Pics" -> choose photo directory to import from?


What happens after you click on a picture?

no, it just extends already existing function me nu > functions > search > localized photo and instead of simple icon you may see in your version, there will be generated icon from photo

Not sure if it`s possible, but would be nice to have a "Save as Locus POI pic" right after u take a shot, provided this option actuated in the camera settings (if it`s at all real for Locus app get into the Camera app like that))))

All nice, but maybe I missed something, for I would have expected also some funcionality like picking a photo instead of a POI icon or even better assign one of the taken photos in the POI as map icon. Perfect would be, if the POI photo in the maps would have the POI catagory icon somewhere in the right or left corner as an overlay :-P
