Description and photos of objects
- Click on "Add description" and put interesting and relevant facts about the object in the field that appears. Recommended text size is between 150 and 500 symbols.
- To add a photo to the description, click on the icon with the camera and enter the image URL in the window that appears.
- Use horizontal photos with a resolution of at least 828px on the wide side
- Photos shall be added at their URL. Accordingly, you can use photos from your website or upload them to Google drive.
- The photo should be uploaded before its description. If you want to change the position of the photo inside the description, select it and select the desired position from the icons at the bottom of the object.
- Optimum photo size is 828 on the wide side. Photo weight should not exceed 300 kb, if possible. To reduce weight, use specialized services for resizing and shrinking photos. Photo format jpg and png.
Note: the method of placing photos on Google Drive is suitable only for personal use of routes. If you create guides for commercial use, but you can't add photos to your website:
- create separate folders on Google Drive with photos for each route with editing access by the link. Photo names inside the folders must correspond to the name of the object or place in the route with their format (for example, cover.jpg, tower.png);
- send links to the folders with photos along with a list of ready-made routes for content verification;
- do not add links to the POI descriptions.
