We’ve just rolled out tagging, amongst a number of other improvements we’re now finalising for the Photomap. When you add/edit a photo, you can now add tags (keywords). These will automatically get linked to other photos with that same keyword. They will also be listed in the tag list. We’ve seen quite an increase recently […]

CycleStreets Photomap improvements

Weekly refreshes of mapping data
Since we took CycleStreets to public ‘beta’ launch three weeks ago, we’ve had lots of feedback, all of which is extremely useful to us.

We fully expected on going live that the system would result in some odd routes. This is because the underlying mapping data that we use is not yet perfect. Many of the cases are where what appears as a junction on the visual representation of the map doesn’t actually join up correctly. When that happens, […]

Let us know your views via the feedback page! We’ll be staying a little bit quiet for a few months while we’re in beta, so we can […]
