Flickr finally started to support geotagging in an easy way. Also users seem to be quite happy about it – during the first 24 hours 1,234,384 photos were geotagged according to Flickr blog.
But (There’s always a “but”).
We’re not living in America and Flickr doesn’t use Google Maps but Yahoo Maps instead. This combination is not too good if you’re willing to geotag your photos manually to a certain street in Helsinki – or any other city in Finland. You just can’t zoom in, there’s no information available. Yahoo Maps is too far behind if you compare it to the Google Maps.
But still – despite the inaccuracy – it’s quite fascinating to browse through the photos on the map. Take a look:
