Photo-map service for searching photos by geolocation

[Mst.Rina1R]

Photo-Map is a visual data collection service launched by Russian developers. The site asks the user to enter geographic coordinates, by referencing which the program will find photos with the corresponding geotag. The search area can vary from 10 meters to 50 kilometers.

In addition to the search radius, the service has basic filters to refine data collection (gender, account type). The photo map suggests searching for fresh images or the most popular ones (since 2014).

The tool will be useful for marketers and those involved in visual research.

The image shows an example of searching for photos by geo. As a result, we received more than 3,000 photos with geolocation in St. Petersburg (Hermitage). The search radius is 10 meters.

Morph, created by Datavized with the support of Google, can turn boring numbers into full-fledged visualizations. The service generates data and turns it into vivid visualizations in no time.

To create a visualization, you can use the .xls, .xlsx, .csv, .ods formats. The result is pleasant to design as your own picture or use as a cover for a printed or electronic publication. And most importantly, the service is completely free.

Creating a Visualization in Morph
You can start working right away on the main page of the service. There are no offers to register or log in. Everything is very fast and simple. Visualization is done in five steps:

Loading data
The data size should not exceed 2MB or 300 lines of information. If you did not find your information, you can use the templates provided on the site. Among them are the largest cities in the world, number series or happiness statistics in different countries.

Selecting a design
Here you can decide on the “style” in which the picture will be “drawn”: a histogram, a line graph, a scatter plot, a timeline, or a pie chart.

Development and construction of trees
Now it remains to turn the resulting element into a bright picture. This can be a tree with a fragment created in stage 4 or a whole forest of bright trees. The final result is proposed to be exported in PNG format.
