WalkingBoss -- Put your Smugmug Photos on a Map

dfales

I've created a site that uses the Smugmug API to put your galleries onto a map alongside of your GPS tracks. The site is called WalkingBoss: http://walkingboss.org.

You can even embed the trips that you create with your photos.

If you're a Smugmug user and a GPS owner, I'd love to see your trips on the site!

That is very cool....now all I need is a GPS

Not sure I really see the connection to Smugmug, perhaps that is where the photos are being hosted...Can walkingboss be a resource we embedd in a Gallery?

Yes, that's right. The photos can be hosted on Smugmug, Flickr, or directly on WalkingBoss. I'm using the Smugmug XMLRPC API so that you can just point WalkingBoss at your Smugmug account via your Smugmug nickname. Then the site walks you through how to get those photos on your map.

There's a section in the help that shows what I'm talking about: http://walkingboss.org/help/general#adding_photos
Right now it refers to flickr--I need to update that so it also refers to Smugmug--but the process is identical.

The remains of that seems to have gone here:
