loc.alize.us Blog

After a while of silence on this blog, I try to blog more often from now on. I have an new topic: architecture. There are loads of really cool buildings all over the world, and i will try to find some of them in loc.alize.us

First locations of this series will be the Sundial Bridge in Redding, CA.

There has been a article in Spiegel.de on the Sundial Bridge recently: http://www.spiegel.de/reise/fernweh/0,1518,500861,00.html

We recently added a nice feature for you: with the URL extension flickr:*yourPhotoID* you can directly link to this specific image. Now you can finally use loc.alize.us as the perfect geo based postcard replacement for your friends and family at home.

As an example: http://loc.alize.us/#flickr:253043027/

PS. You don't know where to get the Flickr photo ID from? Compare the two URLs, one linking to Flickr, one to the same photo in loc.alize.us:

http://loc.alize.us/#flickr:289238236/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexpgp/289238236/

To save traffic and offer a more convenient web application, loc.alize.us does not reload the whole page. Only the map tiles and the contents shown on the map are transferred.

Nevertheless the back/forward navigation provided by your web browser works. Try it to find back to the place where you started your journey!
