Later when you watch the map with close zoom Flickr doesn't show you photos geolocated without zooming because they will be clearly mislocated. <BR/><BR/>That means the photos are not really geotagged, because they actually don't have accurate coordinates, they can't be shown in the exact location.<BR/><BR/>Flickr Map interface is brilliant, but I believe they were cheating a little bit using the word "geotagged".<BR/><BR/>EduardoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431492.post-1156965883889168442006-08-30T12:24:00.000-07:002006-08-30T12:24:00.000-07:00I think the Flickr mapping tool is a great stride ...I think the Flickr mapping tool is a great stride forward. However, I don't think the 1.4 million number represents photos geotagged just by users. Apparently Flickr is taking tags like "New York City" and geo-referencing photos according to the tag. After reviewing closely, during the last 24 hours, many of the georeferenced photos seem to be done in this fashion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
