Greetings! Hope that your new year has been off to a great start. In this month's newsletter, we will highlight some of the new features at myGeoDiary and also recap some of its existing powerful features.
Basic Features
1. You can upload your GPS tracks through a PC or via a direct connection with your Garmin.
2. For users with a GPS enabled Blackberry and Windows Mobile phones, we provide a GeoRecorder application which can be downloaded from here
for $4. We also have an application on the Where.com platform which runs on Java phones, Nokia smart phones etc. on networks such as Sprint, Helio, ATT et al. You can access Abaqus widget on the WHERE platform here for FREE !!
3. Uploading pictures to creating a geotagged slide show is easy! * Use a phone (e.g. BB), take photos, record tracks, upload to myGeoDiary. The service will geotag the photos and directly post to any photo service (e.g. Flickr)
Geotag photos with PND: Use a PND (e.g. garmin) to record tracks, use a camera to take photos, upload separately to myGeoDiary. The service will automatically geotag the photos, and directly post the original photos to Flickr!
4. As a user of myGeoDiary, you have a personalized 'myGeoDiary' page where your fiends and family can see your Public tracks. e.g. Steve's Page:http://www.mygeodiary.com/geo/pub/glog/sbursley.
5. You can also create a public page for any single tracks e.g. Ridges on a Muir Trail. All of these public pages allow your friends and family to comment on your tracks.
Advanced Features
1. Linking your myGeoDiary account with Blogger and Flicker: If you have an existing account at these services, simply click on the activation link in the Profile Tab and follow the steps. Once authenticated, you can directly post your geotagged content to there websites. * tag "Flickr": to post photos to Flickr * tag "blogspot": to post gps tracks to blogspot e.g. Steve's myGeoDiary Blog post
2. Creating your own personal geoRSS feed: Click on the Feed tab and follow the instructions on the panel. You can create a feed and set it to be automatically updated anytime you upload a track with a certain 'tag' to myGeoDiary.
3. Attaching videos to your tracks and use HTML to format your track descriptions: Simply edit an annotation and add a YouTube video embed code in the description box.
4. Adding your Comments to Public Tracks: You can add your own annotation comments on any public track. Simply right click on the track name and choose 'Add Annotation.' The annotations will then be visible to the entire MyGeoDiary community. This forms a great way to collaborate with the community on interesting GPS trip reports.
