Flock users following this blog probably already know about the mapper extension: that little topbar that Jesse and I hacked over a weekend to accumulate addresses using Yahoo! maps.
Many users were happy with it, but that was not enough for the Flock user and developer Tony Farndon. He prefers Google Maps over Yahoo! Maps; as Open Source software is all about choice, he reused our code to develop an extension using Google Maps.
Have a Google topbar was cool - but Tony didn’t stopped there. He added geotagging buttons to the photo uploader! You can choose one of your existing locations or a different one by dragging the map to specify where your photo has been taken.
This feature is really cool, because rather than just providing access to a map, it allows the user to use his own favorites locations in a place where it makes sense (the photo uploader). Thank you, Tony.
There is a number of things you can do with a geotagged image, for example if it is on Flickr you can use a bookmarklet to view the map.
You can install the Google Maps topbar with photo geotagging, or see a screencast by Tony.

This is great to see that from a third party developer, and a good occasion to remind to developers that all of our code is released under an Open Source licence (GPL, tri-licence GPL/LGPL/MPL for Mozilla code). That means that you’re free to study it, reuse it and re-distribute your derivate work as soon as your work is under an Open Source licence (compatible with the GPL). You can release your work as an extension, or submit it to us as a patch. If you know Javascript, XML, just read about XUL and you too can make a difference!

Nice, and useful, extension. Thanks!
Just too add, there are an increasing number of sites that automatically search for and display geotagged Flickr photos, such as loc.alize.us, maps.yuan.cc or platial.com (today nearby). There are a few Google Earth network links as well.
The bookmarklet linked in the post is principally used for adding (not viewing) geotags in flickr, but you can only do 1 photo at a time, whereas this extension will allow you to bulk tag any number of photos.
PS. wow, called a developer now! Have only been learning js and xul for a couple of months now so maybe stretching the truth a little :-)

Hi mctones,
Thank you for the links. I'm not geotagging photos usually, so I just searched on the web to find a sample application using geotags.
PS: you develop, therefore you're a developer. There is no small contribution!
Marvelous.
I didnt knew about geotagging yet.
That's great fun.
Thank you very much
Love it. Haven't seen that yet.
It'd be cool if Flock could geotag Flickr photos with Flickr's new geotagging abilities.
@ bc
I am investigating whether I could use the new flickr geotagging API methods in my extension, but at the moment it is still possible. Geotag your photos, then go to http://flickr.com/account/geo/import which will transfer all your geotagged photos onto the flickr map. Do this every once in a while.

Do you know the day I did not happy and I was in bad mood. When you sit down beside me, we chatted a few minutes, you said that we can use some kal online gold to buy some props.
