Geotastic

Flickr adds geotagging.

Superb. So here's my California holiday, in map form. (And because I never linked to it, the Flickr photoset.)

Sadly (but unsurprisingly, considering Flickr's ownership) it uses Yahoo!!!!1 Maps for the backend, the drawback being that the European street data on this service is practically useless as of the date of writing, so I haven't geotagged any of my other photos. A representative of Yahoo!!!!1 has said they're working on it. Hope they will get some better data soon.
