Google have just updated their Street View to include Flickr Photos … … you can see this in action here. Flickr joins Panaramio and Picasa as a source of photos.

However I find this interesting because I’m a bit of a Garmin fan and heck I’m a bit of a API fan too.Garmin® Publishes API Library and Opens Communication Between Third Party Websites and Garmin GPS Devices, which is the usual blah blah stuff.Yet, we have the Device Communications bit, which, once the user has downloaded the Garmin Plugin allows websites to pull and push data to a connected GPS unit, see ‘ere…. The theory goes that the Garmin Plugin could pick up the geotagging from the GeoPressMT Plugin and allow the user to download the location of the blogpost to a GPS unit.The part I’m not so impressed about is the “cross-platform” part of this…”Allow visitors, who have the free cross-platform/browser Garmin Communicator plugin installed on their computer to transfer waypoint, route, track log, fitness and map data between their Garmin device and your website.”…which is cross-platform if you exclude the Mac (and linux etc.).

I’m totally digging this variation by Michael on the 897 Blogger Template that puts a Google Map in the header.Michael travelled round New Zealand on a Harley Davidson Softail with an logging locations, photo’s and details, throwing the results onto his blog. The header is a great way to link them up and get an overview.I’d like to see it taken a step further with mini maps for each blog post and maybe a KML file so we could see the whole journey on Google Earth.Being geobloggers.com thought it was about time to actually link some geobloggers.
