Google Maps + Flickr

We've seen photos on Flickr with latitude and longtitude tags before. We also saw Google Maps' textballoon-like location indicators. But now someone has actually written an app witch is basically a mashup of the Flickr and Google Maps service. Geobloggers puts your geotagged photos on a Google Maps generated map. All you have to do is add latitude and longtitude tags to your photo, plus a 'geotagged' tag to let Geobloggers know it's there. It then automatically picks up your picture using Flickr's automated rss-feed (only displays photo's with a 'geotagged'-tag). Simple as can be and ideal if you want to show of your house or car to your friends or the entire world. Unfortunately, I haven't been to the United States yet, so I can't add tags to any of my pictures. Another reason Google Maps should come out of beta soon and cover Europe too, or Belgium at least...


Geobloggers, add your photo to the Google Map
