Picasa Network album Support coordinates

According to Google's official blog, the Picasa Network album has now started supporting the satellite coordinates of the photos, so that when you browse the photos in the photo album, you will also display the satellite images of the photos.

In fact, the use of Panoramio users will not be unfamiliar with this feature, because Panoramio very early support the image of the coordinates of the annotation and display, since Panoramio was acquired by Google, I guess Panoramio these features will be Google to use , now sure enough Picasa will Panoramio function copied over.

Currently Picasa Network albums only support the English version of the coordinates, the Chinese version is estimated to be over a period of time to support, you can switch the language to the English version, and then in the picture on the pastry add location can be called to add coordinates of the interface. In fact, there is a more convenient way, is to use the Picasa software directly to the coordinate information into the picture file, and then directly upload the image with coordinate information to the Picasa network album, this time to browse the picture, in the lower right corner of the picture (incredibly display position and Panoramio) show a small map.

However, Picasa has not learned, is panoramio automatically output pictures of KML landmark file Format function, so as to more closely and Google Earth combined. Another point, Panoramio's picture map mode uses the satellite map, but Picasa uses the transportation map, thus, to China such area, sees the map is a blank, therefore this kind of setting I see is inferior panoramio.

Currently Picasa Network albums have 1G of space, look at this momentum, it is estimated that Google wants to panoramio all the functions of the transplant to the Picasa. In the future may also add Picasa layer in Google Earth to replace Panoramio, the acquisition of Panoramio so that Google destroyed a potential competitor early.
