RE: Artist, join our directory on My Google Maps
I have the same concern if it comes to location. I understand it is how google maps works but is there a solution @joslud?
For example using the link a post on SteemAtlas would refer to or just a post?
Can those who join the community use the location of the community - Iceland or wherever we like?
A post referring to the location (photography, place of event/exhibition, art school or something mentioned in this first post?) is an option.
@lightcaptured: If you show photos made in a certain studio you rented you could name that studio and pin that location. If photos taken abroad you can pin that location or? Google maps works like that.
Instead of a logo we could also use logos standing for the type of artist: Photographer, Sculpter, Painter, Writer, Film Maker, Actor, Model, Visagist. I rather let go of the prof or hobbyist since this can change.
Hi, dear.
The solution I see immediately is to place the pin or marker for the city, region or country of the artist.
We can consider placing a different place than where I actually have my house/place of artistic creation. But it would take away from our veracity.
Yes, the option of making a post about a museum, permanent exhibition, art gallery. A meeting place for artists, etc. It would be very good to post on Steem Atlas.
Since, at the moment, Steem Atlas only works with a pair of coordinates, from the site to which you make the post.
In My Maps, we would show a profile of the artist, this can be modified at any time. Look at the Ron Throop marker. Place his website there.
Logo/photo/avatar
I think it is good to personalize each marker. Recognizing the discipline can be done by establishing different layers on the map, one for painters, another for photographers, the possibilities are many.
But
The purpose of the whole feature/project is still a bit blurry to me :)
Probably that's why I want to see its (beta) version in action prior contributing.
I have certain experience with contributing to places on google maps, that below is a screengrab from the last email gmaps sent me ;)
Could we achieve similar stats here? I really hope so!
I have no idea if we can achieve similar stats. If I remember well the only thing I once photographed was a dirty toilet in I believe München. If it comes to it I am not a google fan and the only time that map was used was by a friend two years ago in Italy. Well, it was not able to show the way.
I am wrong I shared more nonsense and just checked. Turns out I have 70.000 so you have more.
:)))
I recall there was a conceptual photo series of a known photographer who travels theworld and shares toilet photos :) So, probably you've been frustrated but I guess everything could be "treasure" in the eyes of a stranger :)))
We may achieve even bigger numbers, in terms of visits of some posts, but as there are many frontends, I doubt there is a clever or easy way to sum all those visits, so the stats will be lower than what they really are ;)
The pros and cons of web3 ;)
I use google maps navigation when traveling and lately, when driving even in the vicinity, as they warn about delays, road constructions, traffic police cameras, accidents, traffic jams, etc.
I liked the "Chronology" or called "your timeline", I think, but google is shutting down this feature in May. :(
Going worse they are. They will still keep my data but it will be harder if not impossible to me to access it... Not that I'm surprised ;)
My main pro camera doesn't have geo-tagging, so sometimes when I travel and visit many places in one day, it was very helpful to later check out the locations on the map... how much time I've spent, they traveled between points, etc. Too useful to be given for free, I guess...
