Fantastic Day

现在Flickr的用户可以在地图上标出自己拍摄的照片所在的位置了，从Organize点上面的Map标签即可进入。第一次使用这个功能会让你设定谁可以看到你照片的地理信息。

主要特色： 1、给照片添加地理信息。很简单，从下面的照片池里把选定的照片拖到地图上的相应地点就可以了。同时还支持直接输入具体地点的经纬度来添加。(图一) 2、地图显示有三种模式：Map(普通)、Satellite(卫星照片)、Hybrid(前两种显示方式叠加)。用户可以利用自己喜欢的显示方式来添加tag。(图二) 3、支持直接输入地理信息来搜索照片(图三) 4、可以通过浏览社会化地图来看全球其他flickr用户上传的照片。(图四) 5、支持鼠标滚轮放大缩小

资料：英文维基百科关于GeoTag的介绍

GeoTagging, sometimes referred to as Geocoding, is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as websites, RSS feeds, or images. This data usually consists of latitude and longitude coordinates, though it can also include altitude and place names. Geocoding also refers to the process of taking non-coordinate based geographical identifiers, such as a postal address, and converting them into geographic coordinates. GeoTagging can help users find a wide variety of location-specific information. For instance, one can find images taken near a given location by entering a latitude and longtitude into a GeoTagging-enabled image search engine. GeoTagging-enabled information services can also potentially be used to find news, websites, or other resources.
