Krustyfries, a 2008 Google My Maps Australia Awards Winner

15 January 2009 2,102 views No Comment

I recently entered my own Darwin to Adelaide, a 3,200km adventure down the Stuart Highway, into the Google My Maps Australia Awards. I was lucky enough to be one of the ten winners and received an iPod touch and a fantastic Google trophy!

In September 2008, I travelled from Darwin to Adelaide through the Centre of Australia, 3200km on the Stuart Highway. I posted my photos directly to the map below during my trip using my iPhone, and used Trippermap, Shozu and Flickr:

  • Shozu – allows you to upload photos from your iphone to many different webservices, including Flickr!, Facebook and Photobucket.
    - After geocoding (a one click procedure with Shozu) and taggging, I uploaded my photos to Flickr!
  • Flickr!- The best photo sharing website!
    - I tagged each photo with “trip” for use in my map.
  • Trippermap – pulls your photos from Flickr and displays them on Yahoo Maps and Google Maps (however you need the premium version to use Google Maps).
    - I utlised the Google Maps feature and produced my map, below:
