I flickr every day and try to geotag most of my images. This looks like it might speed things up!

betsyk
Open Flickr to your photostream page and copy the url from the browser. Mine is http://www.flickr.com/photos/tabasco_jack/
Paste this address into iMap in the Flickr url box. The email or Flickr ID box doesn’t seem to work for me.
It should then link to your flickr account and you can pick your sets. Only the photos that have already been geotagged will display on the map.
Hope this helps.

betsyk, because I’m following the mapflick help forum, I see you’re asking for help from the right people. And since I’m not a mapflickr expert like they are, I’ll let them help you. They are very good at what they do.

OK. I’ll show my denseness. What is a flickr address. Is that the url where my photostream is?

I’m not sure how much help I’ll be, but what’s your flickr address?

I am going to post in the Forum also for help, but I could not get iMap to find my sets. Any ideas?

That was one of the first suggestions I made to the Map Flickr people. They said that being able to move pictures around via their Google based map was on their list of things to do as they upgrade the program.

Oups sorry i submitted last comment but didn’t finish to write it
I mean, in some countries, Flickr maps are not detailed at all (in China for example, you can check Shanghai to see how difficult it can be to place a picture on an empty map!)… Is there a way to change the location of the pictures directly on the Google Map ? That would be interesting.

Except that maps on Flickr are not detailed enough to locate

I found Map Flickr last month and gave it a try. It is pretty easy to use. I had to re-organize my set of photos I wanted to use and then had to play with the map size a little to get it to fit my blog. Worked like a charm!!
However, i have noticed a few times in which the map would not display. Not sure if it’s an issue with Map Flickr or Google.
All-in-all, I like it better than any of the other options out there for displaying geo-tagged photos.
