Flickr Geotags
I have been playing a bit with the geotagging feature of Flickr. I like this interface. Just drop the image from the image browser on the right location. I guess that's the way to do it. Unfortunately the Yahoo maps (and images) are not very good for my region. So the locations will not be very accurate. But you can always change them when new Yahoo stuff comes available.
The Flickr map for all users is interesting. Interestingly different zoom levels will show different photo set. I wonder what the logic is behind this. I found my images at last at the lowest zoom level, Anyway there are many more geotagged images than shown on the highest zoom level
I have not yet found a way to see the actual geographic locations. One can see a map under Additional Information, when one looks at an image, but no actual coordinates. But maybe it is a good idea to hide these technical details.
