Flickr + Google Maps = Geobloggers

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 a
dd these latitude and longitude tags to your photos.
How easy? Watch.

The image is now added to the Geobloggers database!

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.

F

Go to the Flickr photo, and click the ‘add Geo

Tags’ link
Enter a zip code or an approximate address.

This photo was taken at Busch Gardens, FL,

so I entered in the nearest intersection, Busch

and McKinley
This got me close, but I wanted to show where

I was in the park when I took the photo.

Doubleclick to recenter and set a more accurate

position. Use zoom to be more accurate.
On the right, click the ‘Add GeoTags to your

Flickr image’ link
Click ‘Add Link to Description.’ If this isn’t

your photo, and you are allowed to add tags,

you could click the second button.
Notice that the geo tags have been added on

the right. All you have to do now is click the ‘

GeoTagged’ link in the description.
The image is now added to the Geobloggers d

atabase!
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

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

I guess if it really makes a value to

tag images to geo coordinates … or no?
