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.

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.

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.
