Geo-tagging! WTF is that?

This got my geek antennae all excited... flickr.com is where we have started to upload and store our digital photos and they've started allowing geo-tagging of every image. Geo-tagging allows you to map exactly where each photo was taken. I've spent some time updating the images we've uploaded so far and in most cases I've located each image pretty close to exactly where it was shot. So for example if you view the image of Jo on a bridge in Central Park you can click on the [map] link (on the right) and up will pop a window with the exact location marked on a satellite photo. So for that image you can see exactly where the bridge is. Man that's awesome! Clearly I need to get out more...

Andy out.
