It would be nice with the set pages to be able to choose between just the small thumbnail view, and the larger view with details that you see normally.<br /><br />The preview sizes on zooomr need <i>VERY SERIOUS WORK</i>. They are MANY TIMES larger than they need to be (without losing quality). The thumbnails are often in the range of 40-50KB, imagine that for someone on slow-DSL or dialup. Not everyone has 3Mbit+ cable speed. The previews were so large that I had to write a little python script to go through and change my blog images at http://luap777.wordpress.com. The images still link to zooomr for fullsize, but the previews aren't hosted here now.<br /><br />Also, the fullsize image should preserve all metadata (just as flickr does after people asked for it).<br /><br />It would be great to be able to set a default "zoom level" for the satellite maps. This would help with the "We are sorry, no imagery at this level, etc" messages.<br /><br />Thank you,<br />Paul Zooomr sets are “unique” yes, but they do not substitute for allowing single files to be added “freeform” also (without having to add a tag to the photo, etc first).
