hi

I have an application which requires me to georeference pictures every
10 mins. is it possible to use google maps javascript api 3 for the
same. it is the same picture set taken by a web camera every 5 mins.
the camera does not provide a georeferenced picture unlike iphone3 so
i need to do that programmitically.

i do know about geocode.

I have developed a web page using google maps v3.

my link is http://kwenergy.org/index.html

the webpage throws up a polygon overlay of the zipcode requested.

any help will be really appreciated.

thanx

Parag

I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you want to add geodata to photos?

Sure, you could use the Maps API to build something to choose a location, then send it off to the server to add to the photo's EXIF.

Hi

I am unclear of some. here is the gist. i get a picture from the web
cam.
store it is a database using php.

now this picture does not geographic location.

so i call the picture, i cannot overlay it over google maps as it has
no geographic info.

so i need to add geographic data ( latitude, longitude).

I know that we can send an address as json and get a latitude and
longitude.

now i have a picture. do i send the picture as a blob, or as a geojson
or some object to get the picture geographic info.

or is it something else.

sorry i was not clear earlier.


any help is really appreciated.


say a gif or jpeg.

Give this a read:

You could extract this with PHP and send the lat/lng to the client to display on the map.
