Hello,
I would like to announce a nice enhancement to iTouchmap.com . You can now see photos of places on a map. The service from Google is called Panoramio and it appears to have thousands of photos from around the world.
To see an example take a look at the Eiffel Tower.
http://www.itouchmap.com/?p=eiffel+tower&submit=Show+Map&t=l&r=b
Click / tap on the Panoramio control in the upper right corner to turn on/off the photos.
It works on the PCs, Macs, iPhones, and iPod touches. It does require slightly more bandwidth though. If you use it on EDGE you would need a good quality connection.
You can also create an account at www.panoramio.com and upload your photos and have a huge audience for your pics as this service gets implemented on other websites. I am not sure on this but I think the photos (if approved) will also show in Google Earth.
Thank you for allowing me to post this annoucement on MacRumors.
