Industry: Internet & Online
Press Release Summary: Photrax is a unique composition of user-generated, geo-referenced photos with Wikipedia contents and Google Maps as well as further travel informations.
Press Release Body: Photrax.com - the new innovative Web 2.0 Travel Portal - is now online. Web 2.0-Trends as Wikis, Blogs, Podcasts and Social Networks capture the internet for some time now. GeoTagging also increases in popularity. GPS-ready digital cameras are already available on the market. Photrax picks up these trends and interlinks exceptional userfriendly, geo-referenced photos and videos with Google Maps and Wikipedia.
The Site, which went online in April 2007, now offers a clearer overview of the georeferenced Photo- and Video-Archive. Every image can be positioned up to the exact meter where the photo has been taken. It is automatically synchronised with the maps of Google and its matching Wikipedia entries. Every photo cannot only be related to its geographic position, but through the worldwide database it also always refers to the name of the corresponding place/city and country. This facilitates the search and navigation substantially.
Travel Tour: A very special Feature on photrax.com is the so-called Travel Tour: the user uploads its holiday photos into the Photrax Travel Tour and creates his own slideshow. This way, everybody can publish his individual holiday trips. Photrax added value: The exact position where the photos have been taken appears automatically.
The site offers easy travel planning and guidance for your flight- and hotelbookings. Shortly on photrax.com it will be possible to find all significant sights in the surroundings of the hotel shown as a slide show (set).
