GMiF v3.0 beta
|
The GMiF version 3.0 beta is out for testing. The reason I jump to v3.0 is because I reconstruct a lot of codes both in structures and modules. However, users won't feel too many changes of user interface. BTW, the GM 0.5 beta is also available. GMiF 3.0 is mainly developed and tested with it.
The major changes in v3.0:
1. Loading GMiF js library dynamically
Now GMiF starts to load js library at runtime. GMiF itself registered in Greasemonkey is only a shell. The main js library is loading dynamically. If everything is going well, hopefully, users don't need to upgrade GMiF anymore. You can always has the latest GMiF online js library.
2. 'Play' geotagged photostream
At the bottom of maps is the geotagged photostream of current photo owner. A button 'Play' is added to have the stream moving from right to left. You will see the whole geostream without clicking next/prev buttons.
3. "Where is owner" feature
This is a new feature to tell people where you are now. Image that you are traveling, away from home, or just out of town. You can specify a geotagged photo to show the place you are now. The only thing you need to do is add a new tag "GMiF:herenow" to the photo. The GMiF will display your current location in Maps and use the photo as the icon.
A more interesting application is, if you have an GPS enabled camera, that you can post the photo via laptop+WiFi or GPRS/3G cellphone by email, your friends will know where you are now. GMiF will always fetch the latest photo tagged with 'GMiF:herenow'. You don't need to worry you have too many 'GMiF:herenow' tagged photo.
Please note that GMiF 3.0 is testing fully in the following environment: Firefox 1.0.6 + Greasemonkey 0.5 beta. If you encounter any problems, simply re-install v2.3 will bring you back.
Thanks for the test drive. Your help is appreciated.

Two new features:
1. If you 'Play' the geostream, the stream will slide to from right to left and the map will move to the location to show the focused photo at interval of every 3 seconds.
2. The map size can be widened now. Two control buttons are added: 'Widen' and 'Narrow'. So you can enlarge the map either by the width or length.
The two features are for GMiF 3.0 only. You don't need to re-install the user script. You only need to press Ctrl+F5 once when viewing any photo page, firefox will force to reload the latest gmif.js library.

How can I control the zoom level and default map type used in the "geotagged" hyperlink? I saw it somewhere but I failed to find it again. Thanks in advance!

Hi killncatch,
I am not sure about your question. In GMiF, you can set the default map type in the "options". Or, do you mean how to control the zoom level and map type by clicking the button that links to Geobloggers.com ?

Yes, I meant when people click the hyperlink to geobloggers.com, now it is at the world map level (i.e. most "zoom out"), which if possible, I want to make it to much more "zoom in" and use satellite map.

I think you are asking about the usage of "http://www.geobloggers.com". The author of Geobloggers is now developing a new interface. I'm sorry that I don't know the answer to your question. Maybe you can ask in the Geotagging Flickr Group.

killncatch,
In the GMiF options menu, it lets you change the link used for the "Map of Location". If you change it from www.geobloggers.com/ to www.geobloggers.com/?&iZL=5 it will change the zoom level. You can change the 5 at the end of the URL to something else if you want more or less zoom.
