I knew it was coming… but still, it’s incredibly exciting now that someone has done it. They’ve combined the photo-sharing goodness of Flickr with the mapping goodness of Google Maps. The result is Geobloggers.
Basically, you can “tag” your Flickr photos with the latitude and longitude where the photo was taken, and the photo will be displayed as a push pin on a Flickr/Google Maps combo. The icing on the cake is the awesome Greasemonkey script(s) that make it really simple to add these latitude and longitude tags to your photos. How easy? Watch.
The whole process takes 10 to 15 seconds. I can’t wait to see what cool uses people find for this. This is practically begging for someone to use it to document a nationwide road trip.

Nice tut up there.
Google Maps doesn’t work in India I think, so sadly this as of today isn’t any use to me 🙁
steeev says
hey dude, where did the visual walkthrough you made go? it was really cool 🙁
Mark says
Steeev,
Argh! Looks like I broke my images display script inadvertently. I’ll look into it… thanks for the heads up.
Mark says
Fixed, Steev. Thanks again.

Consultants like us are watching this trend very closely. It seems to us that the next big thing might very well be “photos.” Almost anyone can take them and they are easy to take now that we have cell phone cameras. Plus, photos tell you much more than a long article. Writing content is only for those that have the talent for it but since a lot more people can take photos, it will bring new people to the world of content. I am excited.

hi. nice idea.the easiest way is to put the gps data of each picture into the picture directly.. so google maps will map it automatically..
we made a little app for this.

I guess if it really makes a value to tag images to geo coordinates 🙂 … or no?

Informative post this, thanks for that! I’ll be tagging my Flickr photos as well. You might want to install a spam filter in your blogging software though lol.
