Kinda like Family Circus

It was as unseasonably sunny and warm today as it was unseasonably cold in New Orleans earlier this week, so I decided to explore the northwest corner of the city. The route you see there took me about 3½ hours to hike, but next time I’ll just start from the bridge, since that’s where the trail and the scenery got interesting. The dramatic views of the Pacific and the bridge definitely make it a worthwhile hike for a clear day.

It seems like you were you walkng west, yes?

Yeah. Unfortunately, the KML support in Google Maps discarded the nifty custom markers that I’d used in Earth, which would’ve made the order clearer.
Thinking about this post last night, I realized that I didn’t include enough google-able detail for people who might be interested in such a hike, so: This post is about hiking or walking from Fort Mason in San Francisco past the Golden Gate Bridge, through the edge of the Presidio, past Baker Beach and China Beach, through Lands End, ending up at the Sutro Baths and the Cliff House in the Richmond.

Which GPS do you have? What do you use to mash up your Flickr pics with the KML data?

Oh, I see. :)

This time around, I just uploaded the photos to Flickr and then manually drew the track (and placed the waypoints) in Google Earth Plus. For the photo waypoints, I just pasted the standard Flickr embed code into the waypoint description field in Earth. Hopefully this stuff will get easier as time goes on…
