Trekin U

| 1 Comment

Trekin U seems to be a fascinating way to present pictures of a trip. It allows you upload your images to create a slideshow with music, and then on one side of the screen shows a map of where the photo was taken. However, there doesn’t seem to be a way to write any text about the images.

Here’s an example of one on someone made about New York City.

I can’t say anything about how easy it is to use the tool since every time I try to register I get an error message. I’ve emailed the site, though, and I assume that glitch will be fixed very soon.

They say the process is easy, but I just can’t tell how accessible it is to English Language Learners. If it’s not, at least it’ll be a neat application for me to try for my own vacation pictures!

Thanks to Google Maps Mania for the tip.
