[georss] GeoRSS GML used at triptracker.net

[Ziga Mahkovec]

Hi,

I wanted to let you know that we recently implemented GeoRSS GML in our
TripTracker.net web service (http://triptracker.net).

TripTracker is used for creating and sharing travel journals.  GPS track
logs can be imported to automatically geotag photos; nearby photos are
also grouped into geocoded trip entries.

Trips are presented using a JavaScript map interface (similar to Google
Maps, but with richer photo presentations).  These maps render an Atom
feed containing GeoRSS GML -- we use <gml:Point> tags to present
locations of trip entries and photos; we also use <gml:posList> tags to
render GPS track logs.

Here is an example of a GeoRSS feed:

And the resulting map:

  http://triptracker.net/trip/263/map


This is work in progress: we're planning on making the GeoRSS output
compatible with other viewers and possibly add support for rendering
other GeoRSS variants.  Comments are welcome.


Keep up the good work,
--
