I would really like to put together a comprehensive trip report to share with friend, family and the community. Along those lines I'd like to be able to share the photos I take but also show where along my route they were taken.

My DSLR camera has built in GPS and I'll be running both a Garmin and phone based GPS track for my up coming Death Valley trip. As such it should be pretty easy to get my photos linked to a map showing my route. The question is, how do I share that with everyone?

A google search turned up some apps/software/websites that will geotag photos based off of the time they were taken and match them to the same time on your GPS track, but I'm not sure if any of them are really good for then sharing that info.

Has anyone used any of these options for this purpose?

Adobe Lightroom will display a map, showing the photos, or groups of photos taken in any one spot. but I'm not sure you can share the map and photos at the same time. The map would need a liked folder of photos.
Google Maps or Earth will do similar.

Thanks. I have LR and you are correct that it can place my images on a local map. I've yet to find a way to make that sharable really. Right now I'm looking into the Garmin Basecamp and Garmin Adventures combo.
