Hi all,

I'm very new to Story Maps (started playing today) and was wondering whether it is possible to put more than one image to a single location without putting locations on top of each other?

Sorry if this is a very newbie question but thought it might be cool if you had a series of images for each location.

Thanks,

Dale

Hi Dale

We don't support multiple images in the  out-of-the-box templates so far. Some users have worked around this, to really nice effect, by creating montages of images:

City of San Luis Obispo, CA street art:

NJ American Water tank rehabilitation:

Some of the custom apps we've created do have multiple images:

Beating the Odds: A Year in the Life of a Piping Plover

I think long term we would like to add support for multiple images in some of the templates because it has lots of applications.

Thanks for trying the story maps!!

Another option is to add a link to somewhere that does support multiple photos per location. How you implement this depends on the story map template you plan to use. For example, using the Map Tour you could add a hyperlink to Flickr photo set, or some other website that enabled multiple photo display. For the templates that expose the web map pop-ups, these links can be configured directly in the pop-up window. In the past I've used JAlbum to support multiple photos at one location. That's not an endorsement, it's just a handy tool that I have used to accomplish what you want, and there are lots of similar alternatives to chose from.

Here's a beautiful example of a simple map tour using multiple images for each location: Timisoara, Romania: a walk through history
