Update:

The Jelbert GeoTagger device records the latitude and longitude and compass direction of every photo you take. …

There is some cool stuff happening on that there internet.

I love all the map mash-ups.

For example, when I post a photo to my Flickr account, I can tag it with the exact location it was taken. It is automatically posted to my personal photo map of the world.

For example, here’s the map of 6 photos I took near the Mississippi River in St. Paul:

If you have plenty of extra time, you might want to play with these new mapping toys.

But working with photos in Flickr can be painfully slow and a bit buggy. A desktop client would be better.

I may wait until the GPS in my (future) camera does the job without me manually having to tag each picture.

Great shot – where’d you take that?
