I have been working, slowly, toward a way to do something like this, for years. My latest attempt (http://alanbernstein.net/galleries/2020-pecos/) is not professional or polished, but it does work. IIRC it is canvas rather than SVG, and the "animation" is driven by the photo slideshow.

Tangentially, I find that the bulk of the work is in compiling and prepping the assets, including multiple camera devices, incorrect timestamps, buggy rotation exif data, captions from multiple sources, GPS tracks from multiple sources...

Thanks for asking here, I'm looking forward to finding a better way to do it.



This is a cool project!

I tried to do something similar using the Strava API. Never could get precise-enough lat and long to place them nicely on a map.

Some of my wild amount of data is visible here:

Cool. Looks like your tracks are lined up with streets, what's the precision problem?


I cannot get lat/long for the photos. Strava obv stores it bc they render the images with pins showing exactly where the photo was taken.

I could only put the photos at like the very beginning of the route or randomly distribute them along the route.

I prob could/should do that. It would be vastly more information than I currently present on the map
