Honorable Mention for Panoramio at Google Maps Spain’s contest
Last Thursday Joaquín was in Madrid to get an Honorable Mention for Panoramio at Google Maps Spain’s contest, organized for Ojo Buscador and sponsored for Google Spain.
There were 52 mash-ups running for the prize and I believe it was very difficult for the members of the jury, Matthew “Chewy” Trewhella, from Google, Mike Pegg from Google Maps Mania and Javier Casares from Ojobuscador, to choose.
Wikiloc got the first prize and I believe it fully deserved it. At Wikiloc you can publish and share your GPS routes and it’s available in English, Spanish and Catalan. Wikiloc includes a lot of nice features, route profile, images, alternative maps, KML for Google Earth, etc. Using it you will realize that Wikiloc’s developer, Jordi L. Ramot, loves his project, it’s full of nice details.

Tagzania was also there, a wonderful project that is working very good and with a huge community behind. It was one of the first mash-ups launched in july 2006 and maybe the example that encouraged so many developers in Spain to start working with Google Maps API.

Stimate domn,
Suntem in aceasi bransa (si eu sunt fotograf).
Felicitari pentru faptul ca ai prins un job asa de bun, e chestie buna sa poti trimite fotografii de peste tot de pe pamant, dar ce este mai rau, este ca oamenii care le publica nu cunosc locurile (si s-ar parea ca nici dumneata nu le prea cunosti…).
Am vazut pe GOOGLE EARTH o poza (nu-i pot spune fotografie), cu faleza superioara - daca ar fi apa pana la faleza superioara, dumneata nu ai putea sa faci fotografii decat din barca s-au din oras.
Imi pare ca iti bati joc de cele mai frumoase zone din tara prin niste fotografii care nu reprezinta realitatea.
Stiai ca este cea mai mare Faleza din Europa si te las pe dumneata sa-mi spui cati metri patrati are si care este pe locul 2, stiai ca avem cel mai lung Bulevard cu tei din Europa, banuiesc ca nu
Poate totusi iti gasesti ceva de lucru care sa-ti dea satisfactia muncii!
Cu stima,
Arthur Antoniu
Now for a really interesting mash up that includes panoramio, google search and You tube try http://www.mallorca-directory.com.
Its great fun, go to Paris then try the google search and ’save a location’ into a permanet file, copy and paste information from the provided websites.
Check out the photos and then insert an appropiate You tube video.
Now that is MASHING.
