Amazing Sites for Tracking Maps, Locations, WebCam, and Photos Tracked by Location

Technology is constantly evolving and growing. I was googling a bit early this Saturday morning and I discovered some sites that were just awesome.

Google Maps - http://maps.google.com

Mappr - http://www.mappr.com - Mappr takes the tags that users submit with their photographs that they post online to Flickr (http://www.flickr.com). Mappr then shows the photographs on a map so you can search by a location. Currently, they are using zipcodes and place names, but they are working on including longitude and latitude. Nat at O'Reilly Radar has gathered some powerful web sites and tools that are focused on images, tagging by location, and more (http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2005/07/where_20_a_coll.html). Here is a cheat sheet for adding tags that tie in longitude and latitude from Phillip Torrone (http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2005/07/how_to_gps_tag.html).

Here is the Google Earth Community home page. Lots of links and placeholders (KML files) for various locations around the world!
