Show HN: Display Photos on a World Map (worldsnap.surge.sh) 33 points by stagas 12mo ago ↗ HN I had this idea where you would see realtime photos on a map, right now this is simply using cat pics, not sure where to take it from here but maybe it's useful to someone. :)GitHub: https://github.com/stagas/worldsnap
[–] stonegray 11mo ago ↗ Looks similar to the iOS/macOS photos appMight be neat for a service like Earthcam or Insecam, or packaged as an electron app to view folders of photos by EXIF location.
[–] Leftium 11mo ago ↗ Was curious what was being used for geocoding, but it is just a hard-coded list of ~40 cities with their lat/longs.These seem to be the most generous (free) geocoding api'sForward geocoding (location name to lat/long)- Open Meteo 10,000/day: https://open-meteo.com/en/docs/geocoding-apiReverse geocoding (lat/long to location name)- OpenWeatherMap 1,000,000/month: https://openweathermap.org/api/geocoding-api- Also has forward geocoding; seems more comprehensive than Open Meteo DB.

These seem to be the most generous (free) geocoding api's
Forward geocoding (location name to lat/long)
- Open Meteo 10,000/day: https://open-meteo.com/en/docs/geocoding-api
Reverse geocoding (lat/long to location name)
- OpenWeatherMap 1,000,000/month: https://openweathermap.org/api/geocoding-api
- Also has forward geocoding; seems more comprehensive than Open Meteo DB.
