Picasa gains photo mapping, mobile albums E-mail

A pair of updates to Google's Picasa Web Albums allows the display of photos as an overlay on Google Earth or Google Maps, or to show albums on mobile phones and other devices.

Map My Photos allows users to specify the location of a new album, and then position individual photos on a map. Mapped albums include a link that downloads a KML file which shows the photos as a Google Earth overlay.

Picasa Web Albums for mobile devices makes all your photos available on a cell phone or other wireless device, even if you don't have enough onboard storage for them all. In addition to viewing the contents of your own and other users' web albums (such as the latest photos of your three year old nephew), you can add comments to other people's photos.

Naturally, you need a web-enabled device and data access, but the photos are pre-scaled to suit small screens to save bandwidth.{moscomment}
