What a great idea, sort your photos by their location! Perhaps Yahoo! maps offers greater detail in its native America, I can say that the UK coverage is poor, bordering on unusable! For instance, I thought I’d tag one of my holiday photos taken in Otford, the street map contains the motorway but very little else, so to pinpoint the exact location I thought the satellite view would help, and here comes the disappointing part… the satellite photo was either horribly out of date, or wasn’t even a image of Otford!
Me and Nick wondered why the system wasn’t based around Google Maps, then we remembered Flickr is owned by Yahoo! No-brainer 😐
So currently only three of my photos are geotagged! But still it’s an amazing idea, and its caught on, within 24 hours 1,234,384 photos were tagged by location!
It’s not that much of an amazing idea though? Zooomr has been doing it for a year or so now? It’s the main feature of zooomr.
I see flickr doing portals next and saying how great they are that it’s poorly executed just like their shoddy bash at geotagging.
