About geo-localization of SP pictures
Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 12:54 pm
I suggest all pictures on this site should be geo-localized. Even if it's a huge work to update all the existing pictures, that will give sense and usefullness to the big amount of posted pictures.
It seems some SP users don't know how to localize pictures with google maps tool. New Google maps with altitude and relief helps a lot, but some summit names are wrong.
I simply suggest:
- update your own pictures as much as possible.
- be accurate when possible (localize the side of the mountain...)
- take care of SPv1 pictures, they got the localization of their attached mountain and that could have been a wrong localization
- to not give anymore "points" to pictures with default geo-localization values.
- To not vote 10 (but vote anyway) on a picture before having checked the geo-localization is accurate, be tolerant with panoramas where geo-localization could be about any part of the picture, or the view point.
