Tagging photo location

When adding a photo to a survey it asks how far along the route it was taken. Should this figure always be taken as the distance from the Western start of the route, or from the Eastern end if you walked it in that direction? Hope that makes sense...

  The instructions on the survey pages says that you should specify which direction you are walking on the first photo you upload. The photos however don’t appear on the published surveys yet. I assume this is a temporary issue though.

  Hi emailed Slowways with this question and had the following reply:

   

  Great question, thanks for contacting us.  Please can you log the distance from the western end of the route.

  So it looks like even if you you specify that you walked the route East to West, you should still tag a photo's distance from the Western end of the route.

  Obviously the measurement should be from the start of the gpx trace. Many surveyers will probably use their phones or GPS devices to note the distance they have walked when they take the photo. If Slow Ways want the distance from the other end, then they can do/arrange for some subtraction. Is there a preference for routes that run North - South or South - North?
