Installation help: [Sticky] FAQ: Where are my photos?

Here's a couple of key points to remember about the way Trippermap works....

1. Your photos must be set to public on Flickr otherwise Trippermap won't be able to find them.



2. When you drop a photo on to the map at Flickr make sure that you allow "anyone" to see the location of the photo or Trippermap won't see the location information.



3. If you are using a GPS or software to embed location info in the EXIF data of an image make sure you have auto importing of geo data turned on. Login and check here.



4. Photos are grouped into locations. Photos taken in exactly the same place or with the same city tags are grouped together under one icon on the map. Clicking on a location icon will load all the photos from that location along the bottom of the map. The most recently taken photo of each location will be used for the thumbnail.

5. To double check Trippermap has scanned through all your photos, go to the "cache" page, scroll to the bottom and click the "clear cache of all photos" button. Then go to the "photos" tab and click the "recheck all my flickr photos" button. By doing this Trippermap will do a completely fresh scan of all your photos. The scan can take up to a couple of hours depending on how busy the queue is. Your map will still show any current photos until the new scan is complete.

6. The current Google Maps beta version doesn't support multiple photos per location. This beta version will shortly be phased out in favour of the new flash version that has support for multiple map providers.

7. If your photos are still not showing up on Trippermap then please email Mark with a link to the photo on Flickr you think should be showing up in Trippermap.
