Put Google Maps on your iPod Photo
File this one under "Why Didn't I Think Of That?" Ian Meyer has posted his clever method for putting Google maps on your iPod Photo. First, find a map on Google that traces your travel route. Zoom in and out as necessary, taking screenshots as you go along. For a longer journey, take successive screenshots of all the different maps you're going to use.
Now it's simply a matter of making a new album in iPhoto, let's say "Road Trip 8/10/05," arranging your photos sequentially and connecting your iPod. While you're on the road, your navigator can use the click wheel to move along your travel route as you drive.
Good idea, Ian.

Seems like a good idea to me. Too bad my iPods too old.

Does it not worry anyone that this guy has a album called 'Nukes'?

I totally missed that. Wonder what's in there. Well, actually I guess there could only be one thing in there. Lots of pictures of nukes...

Nice. But what's wrong with Yahoo! maps?

I'm guessing that Nukes refers to an album where he throws the photos he'll most likely delete at some point, but hasn't decided to yet. I do that, except I just call it "to delete".

That's pretty cool. Although printing it out on paper works too.
