Flick Playground Update
Updated October 11, 2006

Relation to my thesis: Some of the picture are on a city level while others pinpoint a monument without leaving information on the accuracy of the positioning. Displaying the map level used to geotag the information could help understanding the accuracy of the information.

    Flickr geotagging interface is brilliant, but Yahoo Maps coverage for most of the World is very poor. Flickr’s geotagging interface is not designed for accuracy, but for massive geotagging, what it is perfect for some people, but not for others.

    If you prefer Google Maps instead of Yahoo Maps for mapping your photos and you care about accuracy, our project, Panoramio, may be interesting for you. Btw, you can later watch the photos in Google Earth KML feed, a much better experience than web based maps.
