To find coordinates of a place on Culebra, you can use the Culebra geocoder. You will need to zoom in ..

Yes, everybody can add pictures! You can even email them to flickr from your cellphone, when you are at the beach :)

Just make sure to write the title of the place in the subject of the email!

Any suggestions for new markers on the map?

Enjoy Culebra!

Well I'm working at a disadvantage, having never been to the Island. My wife and I are spending the Christmas holidays on the Island. I'm into underwater photography, though not that good yet. Thought if I got some good shots, I could add them in around the dive sites we will go to/will have gone to....

I would LOVE to add dive sites - make sure to bring a GPS to write down the coordinates and ask for the names of the spots - we'll add them!

Enjoy Culebra!

Debbie - yes you will have to have an account with flickr. If you already have a yahoo account then all you neede is to sign in with the same username and password. Then you can send them pictures from your cellphone :)

Hillman - the geocoder should work. It might have benn a temporary glitch, or so I hope. If it still is not working, please let me know how it is not working and I will look into it!

Enjoy Culebra!

Michael,

I think maybe we technology-challenged might benefit from a step-by-step instructional. Can you spare a page on the site for that?

Doug,

what I have there now is a prototype. I wanted yours and others' opinion first before developing it more (like the images linking to the picture takers page on flickr, eg.).

Then I will be more than glad to write a manual (which is always the tricky part ..)

Enjoy Culebra!

Michael I think this is absolutely brilliant! Thanks so much for taking the time to do something like this. I am a geographer (though no longer active in the profession) so I appreciate a project like this by the HIGHfold. Keep us up to date with changes. Thanks!

Where to start? ...

OK, it appears that flickr is a yahoo service. I already have 2 yahoo e-mail acounts, one of which is a swbell.net account. I really REALLY don't want to open a third and get spammed any more than I do. How can I open a flicker account using one of my existing yahoo accounts? I have spent 45 minutes trying to find that out on flickr and on yahoo, and that about exhausts my available time.

Next, how do I upload to the application? Perhaps it is intuitive, but so far, I've barely figured out how to actually view others' pix.

I think the problem here is assuming people will already have knowledge of flickr. I have been using a different photo sharing site.

Thanks for any help you can give an old guy! ;-).

Doug

OK, I've solved the upload broblem - now, how do I download them to islaculebra.com? I have 4 photos taken at Punta Soldado -there already exists 3 photos there; can i somehow add them to those already there?

How do I add a new location - I have opened http://www.islaculebra.com/culebra-maps/attractions.php, and there is no toolbar and rightclicking brings nothing. Help, please.

OK the pictures of punta soldado are a great start!

Upload them to the flickr account (if you are signed into a yahoo account, flickr will recognize that). Make sure to add 'culebra' and 'punta soldado' to the title and the tags of the images.

My application will read flickr automatically, so there is no need to upload anything to islaculeba.com. As soon as your pictures show up in a regular search for our keywords, they will show up on the map.

Let's see how this goes and then we go from there :)


Kayra, thanks for the kudos :)

Enjoy Culebra!

Still struggling.

I have uploaded 5 pictures to flickr. They are all tagged Culebra and Punta Soldado, along with other information pertaining to the composition. Yet, still not showing up.

I don't see any place on flickr for a title.

I did not try to place another coordinates set. I guessed it would add them there where the other three photos from another poster reside.

What am I doing wrong? :-/

OK, team - my photos appeared where I expected them to. Unfortunately I tried so many things, I'm not sure which was the correct one. I will try again with a few items over the weekend and see if I can duplicate the process. Can anyone confirm that there is a delay between upload and preparation and the pictures appearance on Islaculebra.com?

It seems, according to flickr help, that once you have your inital 5 pics, and you're approved, they should show up immidiately!

Where do we go from here?

Should the images link to the image on flickr, and we can all post our comments on flickr?

Should the images link to the really big file that some of us are uploading so fellow countrymen can print them?

What are some of your ideas?

I think this geo thing combined with the pics has a huge potential for fun and I would like to explore it with you!

Enjoy Culebra!

Michael,

I think it'd be better with narrative functionality. Also, is there a way within your web architecture to let the photo page be full sized, rather than having the borders on the top and left reduce it's size? Several islaculebra.com features (like maps in linked websites) are unuseable to me because the images are too small.

Thanks!
Doug

Doug, I believe if you use the 'regular' link to the map from the left navigation menu, it should open up on top, meaning without the borders - Please let me know if that is not the case.

What exactly do you mean by 'narrative functionality'?

can you give me a specific example of a linked page and the image being too small ?

Thanks

Hey Doug, if you have a premium Yahoo account from SBC then you should already have a premium Flickr accout. I found that out about 2 weeks ago and have almost 8000 pics of various stuff already uploaded. Check it in your account information, but you have to search for it because it is sort of hidden.

When uploading pics of Culebra, make sure to put 'Culebra' and e.g. 'Ferry' or 'Flamenco', 'Melones' etc.!

Enjoy Culebra!
