Geotagging Flickr & Picasaweb• If you run a local business, you need what I call "Geographical Google Juice"• Upload photos, graphics, cropped screenshots and geotag them.• The best way to do this is to use a smartphone (assuming GPS in enabled on the phone at the time you took the picture and turned on when you upload to picture to Flickr and Picasaweb)• But once uploaded both Flickr and Picasaweb provide a means to "place your photos on a map"

What is Geotagging?• Wikipedia says:• Geotagging (also written as GeoTagging) is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as a geotagged photograph or video, websites, SMS messages, QR Codes[1] or RSS feeds and is a form of geospatial metadata. These data usually consist of latitude and longitude coordinates, though they can also include altitude, bearing, distance, accuracy data, and place names.
