Pics of old SF on a map
- bane 15y agoAmazing. Did they geolocate each photo by travelling around the city and eyeballing it?
- danvk 15y agoAccording to http://www.oldsf.org/about http://www.oldsf.org/about: The geocodes are based on two sources: 1. Photo Subjects. All photographs in the “City Hall (old)” series presumably belong in the same place. We manually geocoded several hundred subjects. 2. Addresses and Cross-Streets. The photo descriptions often contain either an address, block number or set of cross-streets. These were converted to coordinates using the Google Geocoding API.
- bane 15y agoBrilliant work, it must have taken thousands of man-hours to do this. I'm really enjoying looking through it.
- elptacek 15y agoVery nicely done. Reminds me of all the walking I did during my second pregnancy (we lived where Noe dead ends at Laidley).
- brezina 15y agoThis is yet another great example of the benefits of living in a city with so many passionate and talented developers. I'm so thankful I live here
- kapitalx 15y agoI just spent a good hour of my life on this site and I don't regret it. Thanks for making this.
- rationalbeats 15y agoThat is amazing thanks for sharing. Was very cool to go to the different neighborhoods I have lived and see what it looked like 100 years ago.
- unicornporn 15y agoLooks much like http://www.historypin.com/ http://www.historypin.com/ , but geographically restricted and with more photos of SF.
