Geotagging with Flickr

Flickr added a Geotagging feature recently. I can now add my photos to the map in a few easy steps. Of course, you can do the same thing using Google Earth Panoramio KML Feed, but I prefer the simplicity of Geotagging in Flickr.













To geotag a photo, you just need to

1. Sign in to you account.
2. Go to Organize Tab> Your Sets> Map
3. Look for the photos that you want to add to the map. You can use the Search feature. For example, I search for photos tagged with "Kuching" which were taken during my Sarawak trip. Thus, I can add them all as a batch to Kuching location map.
   
4. Since it is Ajax driver, you can just Drag and Drop the photo to a specific location where it is taken.
   
5. Voila. Done!

Tha latitude and longitude of the location will automatically be saved. For sure, you still can edit the title, description, tags, dates and permissions of the photo which you have set earlier during the uploading process.













The location area is available in Map, Hybrid and Satellite modes. But, it has no difference to me since the coverage for Malaysia in Yahoo! Map is not detailed enough. Check out Flickr Geotag Screencast Part 1 and Part 2 to know more about it. In conclusion, I like this feature because we can only have bird's-view of map and geotagged photos can be treated as the street-level view of a specific place.

Have a great time travelling on Flickr Map!
