Rivel? No need to be, you can use our content if you want! All creative commons licensed. We provide images, you do some interesting stuff with it!
We have an API to get picture information, not sure if all the location information is available, easily rectified if you want it :)
If you where to reuse content could also be insipriation to encourage our users to upload more accurate data.

Yes, you enter the two locations, and the view direction is automatically calculated. Its editable for when people don't provide exact locations and/or it needs slight tweaking.
Let us know what you think!
Anyway quakr looks a very interesting project, will be keeping an eye out! I've long wanted to try something like this with out data in Google Earth.

Hey Barry.
Thanks for the comments, we are looking a bit busy for the next month or so, but after that, may well be in touch to discuss using your data in the "Viewr".
Hey Barry,
I love Geograph. It sounds like you are trying to achieve the same thing as us - show "what it is like" to be at a place.
We would like to show your data in quakr if we can. I have some questions:
1. Where are the docs for your XML API? Are you supporting real time HTTP interface (REST or similar)? Apologies if I'm being blind but I could not find them here.
2. I browsed down to a single grid reference (this one). How can I get at more granular geolocation data? (We need fairly accurate coordinates for photos which are nearby to make much sense in quakr - eg see: Broad Street, in Quakr).
3. Great to hear that you are interested in compass direction. Are you thinking of capturing any other location metadata - eg altitude, tilt, etc?
Katie.
