The site runs a mechanism by which the maps on Google Maps, you can put points (markers) and bind to them arbitrary text, photos, and other types of taxa, etc.
Because thing for the non-standard site, you first will be trimmed dough on functionality, and then run the full.In the "Maps" main menu now you can only watch already dotted. When you click on a point - its name and description (if any left the author) and a preview of the photograph with a link to which is attached a point. In addition to the actual points on the map you can see the so-called Clusters - visual association blizkostoyaschih points (markers).When clicking on a cluster, you can see a list of its constituent pixels and the zoom in button to see all cluster points. Available conventional functional Google Maps - map / satellite, object names, search for the name of the object, etc.
Tying the point now we can only photographs. Add to this are the author's photo.To put a new point and attach to it Fautua - go to the pictures page, look below the map, click on the right place at the right mouse button, fill in the fields (if you have something to fill), and confirm the installation. In addition to the name and description of the point (optional) to choose, the point is your personal or shared.If total, the pictures will knit and other objects and other users (not just you) to this point in the future. Especially popular, if you were not the only ones hunting or if the place is so popular that it is not necessary to enclose a bunch of points there.
Let potestit this matter and will express his impressions.

Warning!

1.Now you can not only bind to one point one photo, but several different photos. Therefore. One point set, Fautua tied. If in the same place photographed still images 100,500, do not need to fence the same number of points on each other , bind more photos to the same point.In addition, tie foty possible not only to their points, but also points to other users that are marked as "shared".
2. Now the only point put by clicking on the map.If you have photos of the exact coordinates (eg, GPS), for these photons do not need to put a point on the map is now , later they can be much faster and more accurately bind through numeric values. What, then, is necessary? A select a number of his photographs, for which no precise GPS-data and deliver them to a point on the map to each point of tying one or several photons.
UP 6 March 2016: The test must now bind multiple photos to a single point.

A couple of comments on the cards:
1. Lord! The fields "Name" and "Description" point - optional. You can both of them simply left blank.
2. The meaning of these fields - especially to you, and in the second - to other users, it was clear what it is. Those. the most striking moment, you remember this place quickly.If you find there a single Apollo in his life - please call "Apollo", if you have a villa there - for God's sake, "Hut", etc. If you are willing to sacrifice a bit of their own interests in favor of the public, then call on geography, for example, "The stream not far from Osinok" etc.
Description - similarly.You can clarify or reveal the features of this place. But still. Call and sign points the way it is you see fit (or do not sign at all), at the moment there are no rules on this subject.
2.1. Call for taxa is necessary only in case if it is the case with both the aforesaid Apollo.The list of types will be displayed in an ordered through binding to the point photo and taxa - automatically.
3. Now you can not edit the properties of the point, but this patch for the test, a little later, you can change the names and descriptions of their points.So do not worry if you fill something wrong or come up with a better name - CHANGE you have it, just not right now. Same thing with the coordinates of the point, and with reference to its facilities.

The first stage of the test is normal, therefore, we proceed to the second: working with less reduced functionality.

Now, at one point, you can attach multiple photos

If the photo is removed away from the already affixed points set as before the new point and automatically fastened to her photo.If the photo is at a point that is already installed, then click on this point to the photo page and click the button "Snap a photo to this point." Preview photos immediately appear next to the previously attached.I draw your attention, you can not only tie so your picture, but also to the common points (those points, to which other authors have put a sign of "total").
To make it easier to find their own or general terms, they are now highlighted. Legend cm. On the common cards on the page, and a photo page.Please potestit this functionality in the living examples and speak out, whether all OK.

06.03.2016 23:26, Peter Khramov

Exactly. On the map, it is very clear.
Circles clusters vary in color and size depending on the number of points included therein. However, the first two - only in color. Changes in the amount of start from the third (from hundreds starting points, if I remember correctly).
But the general point that to understand? At the point is, the author (who had her put down).If he put a flag that his personal point, then no one else for her to tie their foty and nothing can not only view. If, however, he pointed out that a common point, then to the same point can snap objects and other users. Conveniently, if you were in the same place.
ZYWho bear in geography coordinates with GPS in a fractional form - try to close up for these photons to the point (the floor) machine.

07.03.2016 17:26, Peter Khramov

Yuri, you have done everything correctly. At the point that you have set up, there is a combination of two properties: 1. What did she put Tobo (your) 2. What is the total in terms of rights attaching thereto photos. Those. it is both "brown" and "violet". For you important is that it's yours, so you will see it "brown."But other users will see it, "violet", because for them it is important that it can be fixed foty, although it does not belong to the marker.
The cross - a standard sign of closing the window. Accordingly, at the touch of a marker installation will close the window (and canceled, this is the default).Drag the marker can be, but now this feature is covered. I will tell you later, together with the editing points.

Speaking of editing. Very interesting question: which one should be right in terms of the edit points in common? With its clear, there is the author terms the king and god, but in general already like as not.After all, people were tying it to a point, and the author, for example, took it and even moved.

09.03.2016 0:25, Vasiliy Feoktistov

Eugene, if it were I set for each type of specific point - the card has already been-would be whole in them. So much so that the card can not see, would be under them)))
I specify settlements closer to that insect * (as on the label) have been found.
If you put the point even every two hundred meters-will fear (((
Of course for very significant findings make an exception.Just like here: https://insecta.pro/gallery/43606
Even comments yesterday wrote about this)))
A so-called "Torbeevsky Forest" -nazvan so at the nearest town to my village.
In fact it is:
http: // wikimapia.org/17799006/ru/Малаховское-участковое-лесничество-Виноградовского-лесничества-ГКУ-МО-«Мособллес»
An array of large and contiguous with him 4 districts of the Moscow region: Balashikha, Lyubertsy, Ramenskoye, Resurrection + GO Domodedovo.
And who is looking for, he finds.The main area which contains look :)
And if you are interested in precisely the snag under which was found a bug - please in PM :)
Even the tour will spend probably)))

09.03.2016 3:08, Yuri Semejkin

Regarding tochek.A not convenient to be next. We want something to look at where and how widespread mass? Well: Gaining genus, species, and then specify the desired area. For example the neighborhood of Moscow. We click OK. And in front of us a map with all having on it at this time point. Few of Moscow, the Moscow region, let's see.Few ? Let's add the region (s). I would like to see more. - What else is possible? And show us what something like a physical map of the world Somehow. And note that in this case the markers are the same color, for example to adult. Good. Where species are found we looked.
And now I would like to learn, and Flying-pass whether we view the local ali.We do all the same, but instead of writing the imago egg or a larva or pupa. We click OK. And in front of us all the local species.
Total: 1) .For adults markers of the same color (show the distribution). 2) For laying, larvae, pupae, etc. marker. Color. Here we see that kind of uniquely sedentary. Tk. laying -kukolki can not fly.

09.03.2016 8:38, Yuri Semejkin

Eugene! Yes, I do not insist. Just here we are talking about clarity. Let's pokritikuem. Here are your words Vasilyev said: Because your Torbeevsky forest localize possible! And that will go through the village Torbeevo look: Do not go around the village to look for when shooting in a place specified neighborhood of the village such. This is the first.
2).Somehow I do not understand the expression itself try to put points on the site, and not by Geography. binding. What is it like ? What kind of place is it? About Forest? Only about what and where he is. . So you in any way specify the geographic location of the shooting. And approximately + - dozens? hundreds of meters?. After all, your token is not binding tool, all of the hand to the eye.In modern cameras like is the ability to precisely specify the location shooting, but. Not all these cameras there, and insects is not static, but dynamic. . And in the high precision requirements when there is no object moving. Here arises al. Question. And whether the markers are needed everywhere.Yes, in the conditions of the tundra, steppes, deserts, in a flat wooded area they are some Old. And in the mountain? Or mountainous? When fully digital high-rise marks vertices title, rivers, streams., Inflows and no camera, which gives the coordinates of shooting enthusiasts shoot truth too rare.It is enough to indicate the place of shooting, and anyone who wants a place (not up to a meter, which is not required) and find out of it in the villages, if they are close, will not climb.

09.03.2016 9:06, Evgeny Komarov

We assume that both partly right, not always possible in writing to convey what you want to say. Indeed, for sufficiently homogeneous landscape quite dostotchno point on d. Ivanovka :).I mean, about this, as I have on the river Ilovlya: most extensive forest-meadow floodplain with ponds and steep right bank in output and rugged limestone gorges. On google now it's all perfectly clear on satellite, so there has got two points with a distance between them in kilometers - completely different sets of species.And about the exact binding - I'm in unfamiliar places without GPS I do not go and do not go, and within the scope of point shooting location on Google release satellite images will show up to 5-10 m long journeys (Asia, Altai, Primorye, etc. .) Any point of collection-shooting is always tied to GPS, and then transferred to the high-resolution satellite imagery tied prog OziExplorer / Hence, this approach to my own point of shooting, charges :) It is clear that so bother unit.

09.03.2016 12:07, Evgeny Komarov

Yuri, in the our was not there :) This is the last dozen or so, I go skating with him. Before any major trip is pumped maps and satellite imagery for the entire planned route, cables, ship in a netbook. And then in the car on the site of a navigator with the netbook on your lap and running Ozi-com with a connected GPS.Not only do you see the position of the machine and the surrounding landscape for a dozen or more kilometers for orientation and selection of interesting places, but then you can view the entire route by downloading it to the same Google release space image with all the collection points. Here for example last year Kazakhstan (meky scale). But you can see all the details to increase.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php? fbid = 798299653580892 & set = a.798299636914227.1073741853.100002025950541 & type = 3 & theater

10.03.2016 6:25, Evgeny Komarov

Yes, there is, and I had kind of thought the following: when you open a page with photos attached, we are interested in the place of shooting, fishing.Why see the extra points that do not belong to the photo? If the photo is not bound, then yes - it shows all available points have to choose - to link to an existing or create a new one, and what is already tied to?
As a result, the ideal (in my opinion) the next. Open the photo (tied) - see point.One! Open the page of the form - see all the points where specimens of this species recorded at the site. Is it possible to implement, Peter appears to say.And it seems to me, may not need the window with the map on the type of page? Maybe its just cause "button" and it will be fine to turn even the whole screen? And active "button" only attached photos.

10.03.2016 10:10, Evgeny Komarov

Basil, I was referring to show single point to the photo (the others are not shown), rather than a "game" in the scale window. Moreover, such a large scale in the view window will require a mandatory reduction of its viewing to understand the real location.In your example, because it is not clear exactly where this point, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladivostok? Until zoom out, you will not understand.
Oh and one more thing. Now and fear, in the long term, the number of points determined by the activity in the case of several participants. A tie pictures only their authors are today.So many pictures (thousands), laid before the given features, without an anchor. And now there is a feature, not enjoyed by all. How is it going to do?

11.03.2016 0:25, Peter Khramov

Open to the public access new features and changes:
1. Now in the general map and the map in the photo, you can choose which show the point, and which are not.
eleven. In general the default map displays all the points.
12. On the map image:
1.2.1.If the point is not already installed, then (only for photos of the author) displays his point and general terms (so you can quickly decide to set a new point or knit to the already existing).
1.2.2. If the point is already set, it is displayed only.
13.And general, and on the private map using the check boxes, you can instantly change the settings (to withdraw more or less on the type of card points).
2. Reduce the size of marker icons in the legend, so they take up less space.
3. Increased the default scope for a photo card.
4. On the general map shows the number of points of each type.

12.03.2016 14:08, Peter Khramov

By following the system sees about binding species and other taxa to the points on the map:
1. If the point tally images, automatic and fit taxon this photo. If the photo is changing taxon (for example, to determine the exact or corrected an error in the definition), then automatically changes the taxon and the point.
2.If the fit-to-point collector's item (in the case of the revival of the system of reference collections on the site, and it we seem to revive soon on a new level), then it fits and his (instance) taxon - similarly as in the case of the photo.
3.If the fit-to-point information about the discovery or that "he had seen 100 pudoff" (but copy or photos can not find), then bind to the point taxon directly indicating that the source of the data - our personal message.
4. If we do not knit its information, and for example, the data from literature from other sites, etc.- Indicate the source of data (as in the case of information about a dobalveniya) plus un-subscribe in a special window comments (where exactly in the source has information about finding the kind here, etc.)
Say what? There is something else that can be useful in this kind of binding?

18.03.2016 20:31, Peter Khramov

1. A new option for points - the radius (accuracy). Writing during the installation of a new point. You can choose from fixed values or write your (in the latter case, do not forget to choose the unit of measurement - meters (default), kilometers or statute miles.
2. When installing a new point card automatically increases in size.
3.The card can be increased or decreased in size and manually - using the button "Open / Close" on the bottom right.
4. Open edit mode points. We are looking for a spot on any map, click on the marker, go to the link "Edit point".There, you can change all the parameters entered earlier (name, description, accuracy / range, common / uncommon), as well as coordinates. Coordinates change in one of three ways (what you prefer):
4.1. You can simply drag the marker on the map (and have dragged)
4.2. You can enter the coordinates in degrees with fractional part
4.4.You can enter the coordinates in degrees, minutes, seconds (including fractional seconds part)
If you drag the marker - immediately change the values of the coordinates in all windows. If we enter the values in the window after leaving the focus to another window, just go to the second conversion system plus shifts the marker.To confirm any changes be sure to click the appropriate button under the map.
ZY With the introduction of the system of coordinates vrunchuyu on the map may be slightly "rounded" values.
Zzy Please go to their points and put down for their range (Now all the old points raised zero).

20.03.2016 2:24, Peter Khramov

On the page, edit points, new possibilities:
1. Combining points (transfer of all entities (photos, species) from one point to another, followed by the removal of the one from which transferred).
2. Removal point.
The corresponding buttons are located below the map on the edit page.

ZY As for the gardens of butterflies, etc.- Confusion and the truth may be. Probably you will need to sign sgorodit "artificial locality" and display these points only for additional team, for example. Just get rid of them is not necessary, because on the map to see that in Moscow you can still flip morph if desired - at may also be useful.Oh, and by the way, Yuri, "Maps" section shows the georeferenced point, rather than the spread that whatsoever. The fact that dots of doplyasat can to some extent spread to - useful (but not only) investigation.

ZzyLord, remind the need prostanovki radius (using the page editing point) for the previously added marker.

20.03.2016 5:16, Yuri Semejkin

Peter! Let's go back to the bindings. That is the addition 3/19/2016 3:00 Petr Khramov
We put a point with a radius of 5 meters. They remembered that 10 meters of her rented forty photographs. It extends the range up to 30 meters, strapped new photos. And if not removed forty? And if not expanded, and left 5.
This is not correct.After all, for example, I set the radius of 30, but apart from me and removed others. They see my social point, and theirs shots do not fall within the radius. They are taken at 40, 50, 100 m from the point of my public. And they create a new one? I think it is not necessary to measure the radius of tens of meters, and put not less than 100-250 m Or something I do not understand?
Ps.At the moment, in terms of public author moves its contents, not just with your photos. It has been moved to point 151, and it was my picture on the idea that like only I could move. In this case, do not worry, I am satisfied with the author's allegations point range. But it should not be like ...

20.03.2016 9:05, Evgeny Komarov

More specifically interested in the transfer of individual images from one point to another, or even delete individual snapshots from the point.
And this is just food for thought: on the author's personal page will be a button "My geographical point." Pressed - got a list of all of its points (number, name, description, range, location, number of attached pictures).Select one from the list and then redaktiruesh all that relates to it. Now editing points is very time-consuming (if there are many), because after editing one and save the changes, again forced to move to the "Map" tab, again look for the next point to be edited, and so with each point. Well, the last sentence: geographical points need to illustrate the landscape images.

20.03.2016 19:19, Evgeny Komarov

On the issue of common points, I think, not so much the problem, if a person puts an end to the properties of the general, so should understand that these properties should be at the point where many are collected (removed) now or in the future.Also here is an example - put an end to the total Anisimovka, Irina immediately wrote to its range covered more because she filmed a lot along the road to Sergei Anisimovka from the base. Well, obviously, there are still many people visited and will visit again.Well, and what rights should be in this case, the author? Yes, the right to own the pictures attached to this point, no more. Radius general point can also be changed, but abuse it is not worth it - resolution satellite images enough to within ten square kilometers instruct more than enough points of their own.Well, just to be a reasonable approach to these points and, above all, to think how to put a point.

20.03.2016 23:36, Irina Nikulina

It is unfortunate that here too there has been some conflict (I thought that the common points is quite possible to come to some reasonable common variant interested authors (both literally 5 minutes we with Eugene turned out) "Let there be three points three different authors in one place "- that's me somehow do not like ..Do not agreed on a radius, for example, and I must at the same point or a little close to create their own, but with a large radius, which immediately absorb the previous one, and then, when I begin to attach photos, confused and increase until they split in two? ( (Have you tried it?Yesterday I edited the common point that was created by me before, and it happened to be close to the point of others. Author (this fact was not visible under a particular picture), and then could not attach anything to it, because in the "Sputnik" they do not share even at the highest magnification. Section only in the "Map" I moved her most.that it is not merged with another point. Honestly, I do not understand why you can be against increasing the range of reasonable ..? Let's say I put the 50 m and SAMA nominated point total, and another author takes exactly the same here, but covers a large area around and asks to increase the radius of, say, up to 200 m? So why can I be against if my area will go down in general? Just because the first designated this point? Like the post of Eugene from 19.19 "...just has to be a reasonable approach to this point, "It would be a reasonable approach for not such too problematic question (here, too, agree with Eugene) and less categorical. Do not really want to see the map overloaded with unnecessary points. This is my personal opinion, probably, remain in the minority ))

21.03.2016 2:56, Yuri Semejkin

With radii like understood. It should be sufficient and a reasonable specific area. The point must be shared (I also do not like the version of points of different authors). The value of the radius of the authors decide to let the pictures, they can always negotiate and come to a consensus.In case of controversial issues, you can always go to the site and ask for advice, recommendation.
If someone comes to the point radius to another (-s), then do not worry. Over time, if the authors deem it necessary, they will join a point or change the radius, or moved them. There are always options.And do not be afraid that if there is a lot of authors. then there will be problems as dogovoritsya.Ved by points cover a certain area, so all newly emerged authors will only have to choose where to join (for others. Simply attach a picture). You do not have the part (modders and admins) to climb here.Basil Rights saying that only the author of the picture clearer, where he was filming. With a large range of values. This truth is it will not matter. Over time, all calm down, the radii will result in sootvetstvit and everything will be Ok!

21.03.2016 7:22, Evgeny Komarov

1. Peter, I did when I wrote "(which can still occur - do not come to mind) - the administrator dealing" - that, and wrote that comes to mind that has to do with the point, ie, need Edit "from the" have not seen.Well, what changes? The only thing that comes to mind is when creating a common point the author missed cool (it happens very few times nakosyachil) and set the wrong way, noticed immediately, but it is already attached your pictures to other users. Here so, contact the administrator likely. Although, when the possibility of editing points (ie,transfer pictures from one point to another, etc.) will earn in full, and this resolves easier through mutual contacts.
2. As regards the abolition of the common points: in popular mestah.vopros is not quite clear to me.Although nothing terrible can not see that, instead of one common point in the same Anisimovka will be a dozen, but good, I must say - too. We must think. Better to leave the common points, but the rules stipulate approach to their installation. And, Peter, the general point is now placed by default! Here it and is not necessary.Suppose that by default it will be personal! And as the author of the general will decide if he was approached and asked to make it general.

21.03.2016 14:22, Peter Khramov

The value of the radius of the authors decide to let the pictures, they can always negotiate and come to a common opinion.
Nope, can not. Especially, if unfamiliar. Especially if one of them does not speak Russian. that only the author of the picture clearer, where he was filming
And if these five authors at one point, some of them more clearly than others?

and this resolves easier through mutual ContactsAbout resolves this easier through mutual contacts
Between the three men resolves. Sometimes, even among the five.But men do not so much on the site we have bu (I hope).
but the rules stipulate approach to their installation
Here let us and discuss the approach. Here it is what should be the approach?

With defaults - God be with them until the matter is not resolved at all, whether to stay on site shared points or not.

21.03.2016 15:37, Yuri Semejkin

1). And if these five authors at one point, some of them more clearly than others?
Yes, even at one point in 1000, and all of them all is clear, since they are all in the same radius. If someone enters the claimed range, it simply attaches to other pictures point, and in the absence creates a new one.
2). According to strangers. Yes, everything they can.They especially and do not need to negotiate. All that they need, is a simply attach pictures, similar to paragraph 1. In the case of surplus points to some areas of any author or representative of the administration of the site may come up with a proposal of any changes. everything is solved
3). Especially if one of them does not speak Russian ....In neighboring countries, but can not see any problems related to the lack of knowledge of the language. .... As far zarubezhyu._ Duck for them to have the English version of the site. So No problems.

21.03.2016 20:17, Evgeny Komarov

Peter! Yuri rights. Members, guests will attach to the existing or create your point, and permanent participants always find a way to solve the problem (if such occurs), either between themselves or with the assistance of the administrator. In my opinion, too much attention to this problem. Stipulate that the total points can not be less than the radius of 1-2 km, and everything on it.And outside of this range can still put. And this does not preclude the formulation of new points within the radius of the existing common. Why? Simply because that is the radius, ie, circle, which includes very different habitats. I'm in the same Anisimovka put his particular point within a radius of total on the creek, becauselive along it quite specific types of ground beetles, not to move away from this creek below a couple of meters. Not all types are distributed as evenly as butterflies, although some of them are local.

24.03.2016 5:42, Evgeny Komarov

Yuri, I wrote about it. I'll be back to the same Anisimovka, where the same type of terrain stretches approximately 4-5 kilometers along the road in from Anisimovka to Gribanovka and general point can just stand in the middle of the road, capturing the landscape with a radius of 2-3 km. But ...there are streams, to the narrow coastal zone which is attached a number of interesting species of ground beetles, and the crests of the hills above Gribanovka all other "fairy tale." At any one point in common is not enough. But, again, this is if Peter will be able to solve problems with them in the further development of this service to the species, etc.In principle, it is possible to dispense with the general and - well, not so much in our active members and, even if in 2-3 years or more, their number will double, the problem will not create these things, and if they will, then the problem will be solved by its admission :)
