Our to-do list

We are now working in browser compatibility. Explorer 6 and Firefox 1.0.7 should work okay. It's still not possible to post pictures with Safari and there are some bugs in Opera and Firebird, but we are fixing them. If Panoramio doesn't work properly in your browser, please report it to the support forum.

Today we made some minor changes in the search engine in order to make more intuitive the "suggest" system. Now the code to upload the pictures is also a bit more robust. We also raised the upload limit up to 5 Mb pictures.

We have been asked for other features like personal areas, editing personal data, photos urls, GPS and rotation EXIF tags, etc. They are all included in our to-do list.

  1. Hi all...

    Another thing in your to-do list: would it be possible to keep the zoom configuration when you are browsing thru photos?

    An example: I click on a photo and see it (oh, nice pic!), then I see that under that photo there are two maps, some kind of local and global maps. In the 'local' map. Suppose you don't see a damn thing in the local map, so you zoom in or zoom out. If you pick another photo, the zoom comes back to its original position... dammit!

    You understand what I mean? :)

    Thanks and very VERY goooood job!!

  2. Antonio,

    Yes, sure, you explain yourself claro como el agua.

    Depending on the picture the interesting level of zoom is different. For some pictures is nice to have a zoom close enough to see the sand of the beach, however in others you need to zoom out to get an idea of where you are. It’s not possible to know in advance which level of zoom is the best for every picture. That’s why we don’t believe remembering the level of zoom will be useful, anyway we will think about that a little bit.

    Lo pongo en inglés para que si alguien haya leido tu pregunta no se quede sin entender la respuesta, pero gracias por reportar la idea.

    Cheers,

    Eduardo

  3. Hi Antonio,

    I did a quick hack to solve this problem that hopefully will cover most cases.

    I will keep the user's zoom if the user goes to another picture that is near the previous one. So if you're seeing pictures a big city, and you put zoom in the minimap, the zoom in will be remembered for all the pictures.

    Cheers,
