Evermap - a photo map of your trip

    Now that many phones and cameras are equipped with GPS, it’s not interesting to show just pictures from a trip. I would like to tell and show exactly where it was shot, and other travelers will come in handy.

    All this is already wonderful and perfectly implemented in Yandex.Maps and Yandex.Fotas, it remains only to insert the resulting map into your blog. But here I was disappointed - such functionality is not there. On Yandex.Maps, all photos are shown (apparently moderated) with an additional layer, and I only need my own. On Yandex.Photos - you can neither get a link to the received card, nor insert it into the blog.

    But to implement everything myself, of course, there is no point, and I made a small mashup (using both services, since everyone has a public API) - Evermap(the domain is lying around, the name is suitable). The mashup allows you to receive a widget from any of your albums on Yandex.Photos and display it on Yandex.Maps, right on your blog or website. For example, like here (demo page on the people).

    PS Due to the limitations of LiveJournal (iframe tag prohibited) and IE8 (cross-domain requests for html documents in the object tag are prohibited) widget for LJ does not work in IE8.

    PPS Yandex itself had a similar tool called Photomapper. But they just closed it recently. Here here you can read a description. But it was not convenient enough, it required a key for your site (which is impossible for blog platforms).
