Using Flickr

There are a few different ways that Yourmap works with Flickr.  
  • Drag and Drop a Flickr URL onto Yourmap DropZone.  This will create a Shape File of Pictures for the user or PhotoSet that are "geocoded", then start Yourmap with the Flickr Theme.
  • Start Yourmap by URL using a Flickr URL.   The URL can be put on a Web-page or E-Mailed.
  • Start Yourmap with a Flickr search command.  This will search Flickr for photos based on the Search command, create a Shape file of Pictures that have Geographic coordinates, and start the Flickr Theme.
  • Context Menu items can be set up to do Flickr Photo Searches.  Using a Photo Search API command same as above or a PhotoSet ID. The URL for the menu command must start with "flickr.photo.search="  

      Examples:  Menu='Flickr for Hawaii and geocoded',URL='flickr.photo.search=&tags=geocoded,Hawaii&tag_mode=all'
       
      Menu='Flickr PhotoSet',URL='flickr.photo.search=PhotoSet=123456'
