Description
About Mappr
Mappr is an interactive environment for exploring place, based on the photos people take. By adding geographical information to the wealth of photographs found on Flickr, it allows new ways of looking at spaces and images. Mappr adds place to pictures.
Mappr takes advantage of the cornucopia of descriptive information provided by Flickr's users to organize their photos. Flickr's admirable policy of openness with its data provides a way to anticipate and envision a future where cheaply-available GPS technology generates this placement as a matter of course. There's no reason to wait for this technology to become common; by mapping the millions of photos that Flickr makes available, we can start looking at its broad scale potential now.
At the moment, our location-matching isaware of the information provided by the U.S. Government's ZIP99 database, some places in Canada (Canadian data has been provided by Christopher Schierkolk), and a limited selection of major cities around the world. We are exploring methods for expanding our collection of cities and countries to include Europe, the Americas, Asia, and the rest of the world.
