Flickr geographical map
Flickr’s great for exploring photos by photographer, tag, time, text and group, and now it’s also great for exploring photos by place. There are a couple of short video tutorials (or “screencasts”) which give the 90 second overview on how to geotag your own photos and how to use all the controls for searching and exploring geotagged photos. Watching them first will give you all of the information you need to get up and running.
But if you just want to jump in and start geotagging, open the new ‘map’ tab in the organizr and go for it. It’s all drag and drop and easy to figure out. Since location information has its own privacy setting — so you can keep the location the photo was taken private, even when the photo is public — you’ll be asked to set a default privacy setting before beginning.
If you want just jump in on the exploration side, here’s the place to go: flickr.com/map
If you already have geotagged photos on Flickr (from using a 3rd party tool), you can import them into the new system from a new page under “Your Account”. We’ll also be releasing new API methods for developers soon so they can continue to innovate on tools for location-based photo fun.
Have a try and it is very interesting!
