Flickr Map of Vietnam Trip
Being the geeky IT guy in the house, I often forget most people don’t read help files and howtos 
Luckily Yh reminded me that not everyone knows how to see the maps from our trips, so here’s a quick howto.
From our Flickr album (e.g. Vietnam Trip), click on the “map” link
Yahoo Maps will load and presto… you’ll see all the geotagged images from our trip. Pretty amazing eh?
Geotagging and Flickr on our Taiwan trip
Thanks to a recent purchase of the Sony GPS-CS1, we’re able to capture photos and where we took them. It’s pretty interesting to see the actual location where we took a photo and have an overview on a map on Flickr.
Sony GPS-CS1 and Travels
Finally got my hands on the Sony GPS-CS1 that was recently announced. Had travelled to Singapore Expo for Comex during the Alpha launch and couldn’t get it.. Thank goodness Hai Chew Electronics in good ole Sim Lim Square was selling it. The salesman was pretty helpful in explaining how it worked etc (Forgot to ask his name, but definitely good service!).
Tried out the GPS unit yesterday and couldn’t wait to see the track log on Google Earth! After wrestling with what the heck format are they using, (finally found out it’s NMEA-0183 after googling for “@Sonygps/ver1.0/wgs-84″ and being led to a japanese site), I managed to get it converted into Google KML using GPSBabel. Pretty fun to see the waypoints being mapped out. Can’t wait to use it on my travels!
