AnyGeo reports " GPicSync - automatically embed location information in your photos. Some more help for those wanting to geocode their photos - something that isn't always as simple as you would like!
This is an interesting application from Google - GPicSync automatically inserts location in your photos metadata so they can also be used with any 'geocode aware' application like Picasa/Google Earth, Flickr, loc.alize.us, etc.""

Technology: Flickr Adds geoFeed/GeoRSS and KML Support 1 comment
[+]
The Geobloggers blog announces the support in Flickr for GeoRSS and KML. From the post: "geoFeed:
This is the good old fashioned RSS feed, but only of the photos that have location information. [...] Why? You may ask, are you calling it a geoFeed and not geoRSS? Well, I’d say, that’s a good question. And the answer is probably because it’s actually just a RSS feed that includes geo information, in ‘geoRSS’ format and W3C format. [...] In Flickr’s case the KML we’re throwing out is a Network Link, that’s wraps up the actual KML. Each hour, or when you restart Google Earth, it’ll go and get the latest 20 (sorry no more than 20, the next logical step is KML output direct from the API for things like that) geotagged photos."

Technology: Show Flickr sets as KML on Google Maps
[+]
Ogle Earth informs us you can now easily show Flickr sets as KML on Google Maps using open source PHP code. From the Adam Franco's blog: "One of the things I (and others) have found lacking when working with geotagged images on Flickr, is the inability to retrieve a “photo set” (Flickr’s take on a slideshow) as a KML document that can then be displayed in GoogleEarth, GoogleMaps, or other geo-browsers. Flickr provides some KML links and GeoRSS feeds, but these are either limited to 20 items or can only be pointed at tags or users’ photo-streams, not a particular photo set."
Technology: Mapplet to Browse Geotagged Picasa Photos
[+]
The official Google Lat Long blog informs us of a new mapplet to browse geotagged Picasa Web Albums on Google Maps. From the post: "Now we have a new Mapplet that lets you search and browse all of the geolocated photos in Google Maps. Just click here to add the Picasa Web Albums Mapplet to your "My Maps" tab. Then, zoom in to your favorite spot on Google Maps, enable our Mapplet and watch the photos roll in! You can see what snapshots exist of your favorite getaway or take a virtual vacation to Paris. The world is your oyster." See also related stories.
