Any preference on the context menu entry text?

Assuming the context menu only shows for jpegs (.jpg and .jpeg, i.e. we don't need to put the word "photo" or "picture" in the text to explain what we're geolocating), then simply "Geolocate" would be enough. I was in two minds about something in more plain English such as "Locate on map" but with all those other services available at the geohacks site, such as finding photographs taken nearby, it might not always be as simple as placing it on a map; whereas 'geolocate' is vague enough to cover all the options.

I don't expect the right-click menu to know in advance whether an image has a geo tag or not, that's too fancy and I doubt it's even possible.

If there's no latlon info in the file, will you be putting up an error box, or just bringing up a map with no pointers placed?  (If there's a choice I think I'd prefer an error box but whatever is easiest...)

thanks,

Wow - either would be great!  I wasn't familiar with the geohacks page, and my suggestion was exactly your first link with the Google map, but now that I've seen your alternative suggestion I think I may prefer it.  You pick one - I'm not going to ask for any 'scope creep' when you're doing this as a quickie favour! :-)

Thanks

I've googled hard for this and couldn't find an implementation.   I'ld like to be able to right-click on a geotagged image (prob jpeg with exif) within the windows file/image viewer, and select off the context menu an option to go to somehing like google earth/maps at the geotagged location.

Anyone here know how to do this kind of hack?


Thanks
