Amy, our wonderful friend, posted about geotagging in flickr. If, like myself, you are new to geotagging, it's a map that displays thumbnail pictures positioned where the photos were taken. Truely spatial people may be touched with awe, probably somewhere on the right side of the brain. With joy, I just discovered geotagging is also possible with Picasa and Google Earth. Randomly, I found a nice tutorial on Picasa geotagging by Joe Hughes. I don't know the full extent of the functionality yet, but I did save a file so click here to download three pictures from Labor Day weekend. One disadvantage to this file: it must be opened with Google Earth, so you need to have it installed on your computer. But if you have Google Earth, or don't mind downloading it (for free), the map and picture set is fun.
