I have a question about "Ride Reports" threads that does not seem to be addressed in the FAQs . . .

Some of the threads (such as The Daily Rider) have Google Maps with location points at the bottom of each page.

How does this happen?

GPS info is inserted either manually or with a GPS equipped camera into the EXIF data.

When it's present the forum will automatically generate the map.

Well... almost.

It only works if you upload the photo via email. And then only in Ride Reports. Nowhere else.

Broken at the moment. Next on my list of things to fix.

(I've actually worked through a pretty big list of bugs over the last week...)

For me it happens because I have a Nokia phone with GPS camera option on . you can also get a GPS photo tagger like the IgotU.
