Geotagging inside Flickr

The other week I wrote about third-party extension that utilized Flickr to provide geotagging support – well now it has been built into Flickr. Unfortunately the photos for my region of the world are terrible because they are using Yahoo maps, but at least it’s part of the product. They are supposed to be making them better. It still impresses me how seamlessly the web service providers can make these changes.

All I have to do now is work out the process for getting the geotags into Flickr in such a way that I can use any maps. The other great thing is to be able to see other people’s flicks taken at the same spot. I think it involves using the same old mechanism for tagging and then importing them into the Flickr capability.

If you want to see my map it’s here.
