Geotagging at Flickr
Filed in: Web, Yahoo! — September 2nd, 2006
Now you can geotag your photos on Flickr! The Flickr geotagging feature allows you to tag your photos to your locations.
For Flickr member, you can geotag photos with Organizr.
It is very easy to use. Simply drag your photos to a location on the map. You’re done!
Flickr visitors can browse geotagged photos at http://flickr.com/map/.
My two cents
Flickr Map is very interesting. It allows you to find certain photos from a specified location. For example, find food in Malaysia(yes, you can link to the map!). Also, you can filter to photos on map to your group, yourself or your contacts only. Let’s show off the countries you have visited to your friends!

Yup, the geotag feature is really great..guess that’s one good reason it’s owned by Yahoo

Interesting, but it’s hard to pinpoint the exact location. I’ve to use Google Earth to get the correct coordination before add Flickr photos to the exact location.

For those who are from areas not well covered by Yahoo Maps, our project Panoramio may be interesting.
In Panoramio you can locate your photos via drag and drop interface using Google Maps. You can also watch the photos in Google Earth through KML feed.

Speaking about “geotagging”: do you know locr?
locr offers the ideal solution and makes geotagging exceptionally easy. locr uses GoogleMaps with detailed maps and high-resolution satellite images. To geotag your photos just enter address, let locr search, fine-tune the marker, accept position, and done! If you don’t know the exact address simply use drag&drop to set the position.
For automatic geotagging you need a datalog GPS receiver in additon to your digital camera. The GPS receiver data and the digital camera data is then automatically linked together by the locr software. All information will be written into the EXIF header.
Use the “Show in Google Earth” button to view your photos in Google Earth.
With locr you can upload photos with GPS information in them without any further settings. In the standard view, locr shows the photo itself, plus the place it was taken. If you want to know more about the place where the photo was taken, just have at look at the Wikipedia articles which are also automatically assigned to the picture.
