Tales of the travels, trials and triumphs as we explore Australia in a converted bus
Motorhome Travels - South America 2008
GPS Track
During the entire trek across South America I carried a GPS that was
recording a track.
The main reason for this is to allow us to very accurately geo-code every
photograph. This means that the exact latitude and longitude is recorded
into the IPTC (EXIF) data of each photo.
Recording the track also allows for the viewing of the trip using Google
Earth.
How to view the track:
Option 1 - Google Earth Application
(best method)
- If you do not already have the Google Earth application installed,
download it from here (Google server) and install it.
- Download the processed .kml file from
here ( right click the blue "here" link
and select "Save Target As" - IMPORTANT - make sure you save the file
onto your hard disk as a .kml file (not XML - change the last three
letters of the file name if you have to to make it .kml)) open the file
once it has downloaded. This will
load the file in the Google Earth application. You can then scroll
around and zoom in and out as much as you like.
Photos from the trip
A small number of the photos from the trip can be
viewed here. Sorry, they are for now
un-captioned.
