Description
My goal was to have a territorial map upon which I can remember where I made my photos. This is particularly useful for landscape photos (not for party photos...). Inversely I was interested to know the landscape of some regions. Thus, if other people share their photos we can easily find ideas for our next holidays. :-) By the way, PositionMap is the first JAlbum skin which allows to build photo albums based on Google Maps (http://maps.google.com)! PositionMap has also Google Earth (http://earth.google.com) support integrated!

- bug fix: the background color and border of the slide info box were wrong for the following 4 stylesheets: BlackGray, BlackYellow, Bluish, GreenGray

- three (3!) new styles: Chocolate, Khaki, LightGreen
- only those buttons and borders will be loaded into PositionMap's GUI which are suitable for the current selected style in order to avoid bad looking albums
- same paddings in info box on slide page as in info box on index page
- range, tilt and heading (if exists in mapInfo files) will be used for Google Earth's kmz files
- use of <tessellate> tag in kmz files to show lines over ground
- export of areas, view lines and angles into kmz files has improved so that they display better in Google Earth
- new version of JCapPM (4.4.1) included which improves geotagging with Google Earth
5.6.1 May 20, 2007
- each tracklog file (gpx) to import has now its own configuration, so you can choose: type of points to import (trackpoints, routepoints, waypoints), precision, max points, stroke and color
- imported waypoints are now displayed as points instead to be interconnected to lines
- new: gif image support, means, gif's aren't more overwritten by JAlbum's generated jpeg images
- cosmetic bugfix: when using JAlbum's folder titles instead of JCapPM ones, the navigation bar of the root folder displayed JCapPM ones though
- new version of JCapPM (4.4) included which supports now geotagging files using Google Earth
5.6.0 May 1, 2007
- new option: info on slide pages can now be displayed also left- or right-hand from the photo
- new option: navigation buttons on slide page can be displayed top or bottom on page
- new option: choose to embed originals into html or show them as raw image when opened via scaled images
- new option: page titles have now their proper settings like for folders, pictos, tooltips and map tooltips
- Google Earth files are now saved compressed in kmz format (instead of uncompressed kml format)
- if option for kmz file creation is selected, kmz file for the album root folder is now also created/updated (saved in the parent folder as usual) in order to reflect eventually modifications of items in the album root folder
- first letters in footer and map-not-found message are now capitalized
- footer prints now JAlbums internal version (i.e. 7.0.3 instead of 7.0)
- bugfix: the tooltip of the first position point didn't pop up when using google maps template
- cosmetic bugfix: when using Google Maps template, Firefox displayed a little space between the thumbnail and the lower border (if borders were used)
5.5.1 Feb 13, 2007
- bugfix: JAlbum 7.0.3 changed still its API ("isHighQualityScaling" doesn't more exist) so PositionMap needed to be adapted
- new version of JCapPM (4.3.1) included

- naming issue: what was called "Pictos" is now called correctly "Thumbs" in the labeling section of PM GUI
- bugfix: due to the new API of JAlbum v7 there was an error when loading PositionMap (which didn't prevent PositionMap to work correctly)
- PositionMap can't handle "index.properties" nor imort of GPX tracklogs when running JAlbum v7.0 up to v7.0.2 due to a change in JAlbum's API which will be fixed presumably in JAlbum v7.0.3
- new version of JCapPM (4.3) included
5.4 Nov 25, 2006
- new option: import gpx file(s) and show tracks on Google Maps (multiple gpx files per folder result in multiple tracks on map which may have different colors and strokes)
- new option: activate mouse wheel for zoom for Google Maps
- new option: center footer in regard to thumbs (instead to the whole page) when folder infos are selected to be "always visible" (applies only to dynamic and no-map template). The option "always visible" shows folder infos left from thumbs so thumbs aren't more page centered which may make a page centered footer odd.
- new option: have an image in the footer; text can be added as tooltip or one may have only text as usual
- new option: add any amount of extra space below thumbs
- new style: green-gray (thanks to Anders Gregow)
- links in navigation bar work now also when using absolute path in albumfiles.txt ("virtual" files)
- info window (bubble) on Google Maps opens when clicking a position point instead hovering over it in order to prevent distraction and for optimizing loading times
- logic of marking folders has new changed a bit: user can choose if folder itself and/or its containing files has to be decisive whether it's new or not.
"Folder new icon" is shown when folder itself or its contained files is new (if one or both options were selected).
"Child new icon" is shown when the folder isn't itself new but when at least one of the subfolders in any path depth is new.
- until now there was a line (<tr>) below thumbs even if no label nor kml existed. Now this line only exists when there is content
- "spacer.gif" was sometimes followed by a cariage return (instead of html tag) which lets IE add a little supplementary space --> this is corrected now
- height of slidable thumbLine was set via style attribute but it sometimes failed, so attribute is now set directly
- size of folder info box is calculated more precicly since top and bottom images are aligned explicity top/bottom (and not only their table cells)
- check if at least JAlbum v6.0 is running
- update of texts_es.properties (thanks to Dersou)
- cosmetic bugfix: map tooltip didn't more pop up at the most visible area (bug introduced since v5.2)
- bugfix: when using both imageServer.properties AND Window Media Player movies didn't load due to a hard coded reference ('./' +) to the actual folder (3 occurrences in embedmovie.js)
5.3.1 Oct 30, 2006
- it's just a little maintenance release with the following fixes:
- work around for locked map images in the output folder which resulted in a build error: all Exceptions thrown by FileFilters.saveJPEG are now catched
- when using imageServer.properties, slide page displayed external hosted image instead of showing scaled-down image which links to external hosted image
- cosmetic bugfix: when the border around thumb or slide images were smaller than 15 pixels then Internet Explorer displayed a little space between border and image
- cosmetic bugfix: a link to a "spacer.gif" image was hard coded (instead of using $resPath)
5.3 Oct 28, 2006
- new option for embedding video in slide pages (instead of opening it in a new page)
- new option which adds a slider on index pages when thumbs don't more fit on page (this allows to have many thumbs in one (or more) row(s) without having a large page width)
- thumbnail for folder representation is now supported (the thumb is overlayed by a small folder icon for distinguishing them from normal thumbnails)
- better image qualtity for map tooltips on map (they are now less grainy)
- the compression factor for maps can't more be configured in PositionMap GUI; it's now the same as set in the Advanced tab of JAlbum GUI
- new option which adds the number of files (in album / in folder) to footer
- title bar may be set now also for slide pages (top, bottom, both) in the same manner as for index pages
- only needed resources (buttons and borders of the selected set) will be copied to the output folder (as JAlbum copies always the whole content of the 'res' folder, they have moved to the 'deco' folder where PositionMap makes the copy of the needed resource sets)
- new version of JCapPM (v4.2) included which has now GPX file support (for importing GPS tracklogs)
5.2 Sep 4, 2006
- new option for standard and google-maps template: don't show thumbs so all the place can be used by the map (all photos should have positions on the map else you couldn't jump directly to the slide page)
- PositionMap automatically deselects JAlbums feature "use thumb for folder icons" since PositionMap doesn't suppport it
- renaming of stylesheet class "folderinfoNoMap" to "folderinfoTop"
- new version of JCapPM (4.1) included (supports now THM files for video snaps)
- small bugfix: if google map template and smart no-map feature were both used and if no photos but only folders existed then the google map wasn't shown
5.1 Jul 9, 2006
- bugfix: longitude/latitude datas from EXIF were not always read
5.0 Jul 7, 2006

- JAlbum GUI tab for setting up Index Page properties splitted into 4 cleaned up tabs
- new tab for google maps specific settings
- new option for creating file associations with google earth client (means that downloaded kml files will be opended automticaly by google earth client)
- if no mapInfo file exists then PositionMaps loads automatically GPS datas (if exists) from EXIF header of photo (used by google maps template and when creating kml files for google earth client)
- label of photo is shown as alternative text when the photo is being loaded or if it couldn't be shown
- multi line support for JAlbum GUI tooltips added

- default area border color changed from #FF9966 to #FF8C10 and its stroke from 1 pixel to 2 pixel
- file "index.properties" overwrites settings of "index.properties" of parent folder having set inclusiveSubfolders=true (before, "index.properties" has been applied to all subfolders regardless other "index.properties" files)
- bugfix: since v4.11 javascript file "positionmap.js" needed but missed in zoom map page
- cosmetic bugfix: when new project, both radio buttons "always page height" and "max page height" were pre-selected (now, only "max page height" is pre-selected)
4.12 May 2, 2006
- bugfix, introduced since v4.11: in some pages the resource image "spacer.gif" didn't link to the res folder
4.11 May 1, 2006
- different possibilities to define size of folder info box:
- define it via JCapPM for specific folders for any template (standard, dynamic-map, no-map)
- define it via JAlbum GUI for all folders (applies only to dynamic-map and no-map templates):
- no limit in order to show complete content of box without scrollbars
- limited in height for exactly fitting in page
- limited in height only if box would exceed page height

4.10 Apr 23, 2006
- bugfix: since JAlbum 6.4 linking to non-image files was broken if THM-files (for videos) has been used
- link to external hosted media files (defined by "imageServer.properties") works now also if a thumb instead of an icon is used (e.g. THM-files for videos)
- there is now a minimal width of 300px for comments, descriptions and timestamps when shown above/below a photo; this renders infos better if a very small photo or an icon is shown
- icons shown on slide pages (for non-image files) have now the same space as border size of slide images; this aerate the icon better from other elements around (comments, nav buttons)
- icons of lower thumb line weren't aligned correctly ("middle" instead of "top")
- icons on index pages have now the same space as thumbs; this renders better icons having comments
- when info box of folder descriptions is shown aside from map then its size (height) is now exactly the same as height of map (was a problem for non-IE browsers)
4.9 Apr 3, 2006
- can now print trace route on map - dates, captions and descriptions on slide pages can be aligned above and/or below photo or top and/or bottom of page - new option of encoding html entities for labels, captions and descriptions - width and height of info box for folder descriptions has now a width and height max/min limit - Mac OSX alignment problem of new-icon solved - added version number of PositionMap to footer - bugfix: space after the symbol & in thumbnail labels had disappeared - new version of JCapPM (3.7) included

4.6 Oct 18, 2005
- new Version of JCapPM (3.4) included
- linking of non-image files (movies, zip, pdf...) enhanced:
a) on index and slide pages it shows a clickable icon which opens a new window loading the non-image file
b) on slide page borders around non-image icon are suppressed
c) bugfix: non-image files on index page linked incorrecly when imageServer.properties existed (and "link to originals..." has been selected)
- non-image files are labeled like photos (and no more like directories)
- new option allows to prevent empty thumb labels
- generated Google Earth kml file handles now besides position points also areas, lines of view and angles of view
- text in <title> tag which could break the html structure (\<>&) are now replaced by its html entities

- cosmetic bugfix: in some browsers the width of folder-info box was incorrect when it was shown aside from map (due to an unintentional line break in html/css)
- cosmetic bugfix: <title> tag of slide pages contains label of image or, if it's empty, the file name of the image (without file extension)
4.5 Aug 28, 2005
- First skin which integrates Google Earth support! That means, if your photos carry GPS infos in their EXIF header or if you have created such infos by using JCapPM then PositionMap can create and link to kml files which are interpreted by Google Earth. - icons for extended files (zip, pdf, mdb,...) added as JPG for use with google earth - 2 entries in french properties file (texts_fr.properties) corrected - link to online help corrected - existing ".jalbum-defaults.jap" could cause a warning when opening PositionMap. This might be an JAlbum bug but I found a work around for this problem. - when folder infos are shown aside of map then the max width of the textbox is 300px even if the map is larger (if width of map is less than 300px then the width of textbox and map are the same) - new Version of JCapPM (3.3) included -
This version replaces the previous version (also 4.5) which was already online for a few days. The one and only difference is that this version is a zip file instead of rar. I had to use rar because the zip file exceeded the upload limit of 1 MB (rar compresses better than zip). Now the upload limit has been increased and I can reuse zip, which has been asked by some people.

Improvements:
- added a "fast acces panel" allowing you to browse fastly your photos
