My greenland photos described, mapped and converted to google earth shots

|

Jonathan at Not So Green used my Greenland flickr photo set and described, mapped and converted to google earth the pictures in More East Greenland nunatuks. This is one of the neatest things I've seen in a while. I'm so pleased that he did it. I learned a bunch of things about Greenland, flickr and geocoding.

Based on all his work, I tried to enter the geo data into flickr for the pictures. I couldn't figure out how to enter the exact lat/long coords. The exact coords are available from the not so green entry. Flickr lets me drop the images on a map but that's far too inaccurate and time consuming given that I have the exact coords..

I found out about the ongoing debate between flickr's use of degrees, minutes, seconds compared to GPS and other widespread use of decimal.

I did find a cool Flickr API service called BlockRocker that does geoTagging. I think it might do the right thing but I'm not sure yet if I trust blockrocker to write to my entries.

Thanks again Jonathan.
