Easily geotag Flickr photos with Google Maps
Maybe there are better places to put your photos online, but Flickr has always worked for me so I've stuck with it.
Yahoo bought Flickr a year or two ago and has been weaving its tentacles through it ever since. A recently added feature is the ability to put your photos on a Yahoo Map, like this. Nearby photos taken by other users will also be displayed. If not, zoom out a bit.
The developers did the best with what they had to work with, but Yahoo's coverage of Japan pales in comparison to Google's. You can't zoom in far enough to place a photo exactly to the inch where it was taken, and well, in this day and age, that simply won't do.
- Use Firefox.
- Install Greasemonkey.
- Restart
- Install the Greasemonkey script "Google Maps in Flickr" (GMiF)
- Marvel at the new link above a photo on its Flickr page that will open a Google map right then and there so you can geotag the photo the way God wants you to.
