Flickr Map – Geotagging photos

Oh my god, really, this is the pinnacle! This is insane…

http://www.flickr.com/map/

And to see my photos? Clicky

I will try and geotag all my photos from now on, although won’t be going back over my 200+ previous photos to geotag them. Amazing, well done Flickr! More about this can be read from the Flickr blog post about it right here.

And finally, before I go to work just to let you know my photo’s from the Gosporteers classic car show is now on Flickr too, and can be viewed the normal way.

    Hi,

    This may well be completely off topic, but this really is a key to success in SEO, check this out google.com/webmasters

    Another secret thing that google is hiding away.

    Back on topic…

    Saw this a few days ago (mentioned on another blog) and completely forgot to look. Thanks for the reminder!

    I’ve now gone through and geo tagged most of my 111 (sad huh!) photos.

    BTW – can you get on the club forum/website? I can’t.

    Nice, must have taken you a while to tag all those photo’s. I am only doing ones from now on, rather than past ones. I simply can’t be bothered.

    I went on very quickly before work this morning and it didn’t work at first, then it did… bit weird.

  5. Collin says:

    Nah, most of ‘em were Mini photos in sets so I just multi-selected and away we went.

    It’s fab, I found Charlbury for the MITP photos simply by doing a search! I didn’t expect it to work.

    Got on the forum eventually – rebooted the PC! ;)

  6. Daze says:

    Sweet, I might have to do my MITP photo’s then, so that yours and mine are in exactly the same place! Awesomeness, let me know if you find anymore cool stuff about the Flickr Map’s! :)

    OMFG That is outstanding! Shame they dont use Google Map instead of Yah00

    Oh I passed for the army so I could leave within a few months so will have to meet up soon mate.

  8. Daze says:

    They won’t be using Google Maps since Flickr is owned by Yahoo, they bought it a while back.

    But…

    http://picasaweb.google.com/
    http://maps.google.com/

    I’m sure you can figure it out! Although Picasa Web Albums sucks at the moment. Shame on Google :(

  9. Daze says:

    PS: Awesome news about getting into the Army! Best of luck dude, hopefully see you before you leave!

  10. Adcuz says:

    This geotagging has been a great success with millions of photos using it allready, according to some news site anyway.

  11. Adcuz says:

    Oh and, there you go, the update you asked for http://adcuz.co.uk

  12. Collin says:

    The announcement on the Flickr blog reckoned 1.6 million images tagged eight hours after it was launched.
