How to create kmz with picture icon

1. Take pictures and star GPS logger
2. Write geo-information to pictures(To reference posted article:GPS 記錄器、相簿、工具、節點編輯...)
3. Launch Friendly Flicker
4.open a text file and put into below text and save to doc.kml(UTF8 format)
doc.kml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<Document>
<name>Recent Uploads with geodata</name>
<open>1</open>

</Document>
</kml>

5. click tab “選項”then select all options.

6.Select “清單顯示”that faster than icon mode.

7. Input search conditions then click “搜尋相片.

8.While all of picture information loaded. right click on list and select "選擇全部相片”

9.Copy below text then put into firendly flickr.

       <coordinates>{longitude},{latitude}</coordinates>
   </point>
</placemark>

10.Click tab 進階模版 and 啟動

11.Click “複製到剪貼簿”(the friendly fickr will get picture information form web site and apply the template before put inside.)
※Because the FF do not supprt photo id parameter , so that use url to generate id. after step replace surplus urls.



12.Replace the picture id. copy below option to replace dialog. and select Regular Expressions and select option Perl

photo/http://www.flickr.com/photos/(.*?)/(.*?)/
photo/\2

14.compress to zip file and rename the extension to *.kmz

15.After that you can place in internet such as google page to share anyone.
16.This site can validator your kmz.

Demo … Google Map

Save the kmz link to My Map that will show pictures by postition when you move .

Double click *.kmz … Google Earth

GPS 記錄器、相簿、工具、節點編輯...

GPS應用廣泛，尤其整合了網路資源後能擴展的方向很多，本篇是一則實作測試文，為了偷懶不多作說明與修飾，若你有進一步的興趣請勤奮的點選連結，有很多DEMO可以把玩。

20080412阿里山出遊路線分享(I-gotU GT-100)

[旅程中2個大斷層，跟沒結尾的冏況，所以出現大橫貫與圖片辜兒等精采結局請勿受到驚嚇]
step 1. 安裝i-gotU Desktop
step 2. 將 *.mdb(Link) 放至 C:\Documents and Settings\******\Application Data\MobileAction\GPSTracer 取代 Tracer.mdb
step 3. 選取兩筆track→合併
---------- (分隔線)繼續下列步驟或匯出*.gpx(Link)使用其它軟體後製(edit、gpscoding、gpstagging…)---------
step 4. 於下方的"相簿"右鍵→新增圖片
step 5. 選取圖片右鍵→儲存GPS
step 6. 點選上片track 會重新載入Google Map(Ps. i-gotU Desktop圖片太多(大)可能會當)
step 7. 匯出html,gpx,kml…

(相關討論請參考：[Mobile01分享]i-gotU(GT-100)旅程紀錄 或 i-gotU操作手冊)

Geocode aware

GPicSync：
Automatically geocode pictures from your camera and a GPS track log.
Picasa：
Picasa is a software application for organizing and editing digital photos, Google began offering Picasa for free download.
Google Earth：
Google Earth lets you fly anywhere on Earth to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings and even explore galaxies in the Sky. You can explore rich geographical content, save your toured places and share with others.
Friendly.Flickr：
一個整合Flickr上下傳的編輯工具

上傳圖片前先注意有無允許自動匯入GPS資訊(否則就要手動調整囉)
You→Your Account→Privacy & Permissions→Import EXIF location data

除了在photostream 頁面下方的KML(僅單頁)
Subscribe to parkghost's photostream – Latest | geoFeed | KML

也有第三方做的 http://kmlphotos.metaltoad.com/

點選就會啟動Google Earth，紅點即是Flickr的圖片位址

整體來說還有很大的進步空間…

一些詞條 (Wikipedia)

GPS tracking：
A GPS tracking unit is a device that uses the Global Positioning System to determine the precise location of a vehicle, person, or other asset to which it is attached and to record the position of the asset at regular intervals. The recorded location data can be stored within the tracking unit, or it may be transmitted to a central location data base, or internet-connected computer, using a cellular (GPRS), radio, or satellite modem embedded in the unit. This allows the asset's location to be displayed against a map backdrop either in real-time or when analysing the track later, using customized software. Such systems are not new; amateur radio operators have been operating their free GPS based nationwide realtime Automatic Position Reporting System since 1982.

Data loggers：
A GPS logger simply logs the position of the device at regular intervals in its internal memory. Modern GPS loggers have either a memory card slot, or internal flash memory and a USB port. Some act as a USB flash drive. This allows downloading of the data for further analysis in a computer.

GPX：
GPX, or GPS eXchange Format is an XML schema designed for transferring GPS data between software applications. It can be used to describe waypoints, tracks, and routes. The format is open and can be used without the need to pay licence fees.
Geotagging：
Geotagging, sometimes referred to as Geocoding, is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as websites, RSS feeds, or images and is a form of geospatial metadata. This data usually consists of latitude and longitude coordinates, though it can also include altitude, bearing, and place names.
Geocode：
Geocoding is the process of assigning geographic identifiers (e.g., codes or geographic coordinates expressed as latitude-longitude) to map features and other data records
Waypoint：
Waypoints are sets of coordinates that identify a point in physical space. For the purposes of terrestrial navigation, these coordinates usually include longitude and latitude, and sometimes altitude (particularly for air navigation).

Track、Route：
An ordered collection of points may be expressed as a track or a route. Conceptually, tracks are a record of where a person has been, routes are suggestions about where they might go in the future. So, for instance, there might be timestamps for each point in a track (because someone is recording where and when they were there), but timestamps for each point in a route are unlikely to be provided, because the author is suggesting it, and nobody might ever have travelled it.
KML：
Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is an XML-based language schema for expressing geographic annotation and visualization on existing or future Web-based, two-dimensional maps and three-dimensional Earth browsers. KML was developed for use with Google Earth, which was originally named Keyhole Earth Viewer. It was created by Keyhole, Inc, which was acquired by Google in 2004. The name "Keyhole" is an homage to the KH reconnaissance satellites, the original eye-in-the-sky military reconnaissance system first launched in 1976.

KMZ：
KML files are very often distributed as KMZ files, which are zipped KML files with a .kmz extension
