Very cool! I love the way it generates the tags automatically.
Just two suggestions. Can you make the map moveable so that the location can be "fine tuned?" Often one doesn't know the exact address. And along those lines, if you have the lat/lon coords already, would it be possible to input that data?
And, BTW while I'm making requests, can it straighten out my finances and book my next trip to Europe? ;-)

You right: A simple lat/lng input would be cool if we already got infos from somewhere else. Hmm. What do you think would be the best way? Some Arificial Intelligence parser which knows where the massive numbers came from (Goole/Yahoo/Microsoft Maps URL cut'n'paste) or two fields to copy em in?

Since you have to generate two different tags for lat/lon, it would make since to have two fields. Perhaps you could add this to the opening dialog box - something like address OR lat/lon.

Wow that is pretty impressive, if you are looking for enhancements I think would be the ability to move from the currently tagged photo to the next photo as they are usually side by side.
I also said this about dreadworlds block rocker tool but i also prefer the crosshair approach to tagging as opposed to the marker version, but that as i have said is personal preference.
keep it up dude.

@Spud: A batch mapper within Flickr is what I am really would love to see. But moving from one page to the next photo isn't that easy, 'cause it would definitely require a page reload.
What I thought about is using the bookmarklet on a specific set or within the organizr. Hmm. Should be possible...
@RC: Address OR lat/lon will make it in the next release!

Hey aemkei
I was just thinking initially about the way flickr can show you the next and previous photo in your photo stream and start with that, tag a photo, retain the marker or crosshairs and allow the user/tagger to move to the next image and retain the information to retag. Batch tagging is a different beast altogether and may need a bit more work.

I appreciate your considering my suggestions. However, realistically, if you've already got lat/long coords, you don't really need this or any other app.
I think the fine-tuning with crosshairs would be a more useful addition than the additional fields. But, you could go ahead and add the lat/lon fields as an alternate to addresses, and include the crosshairs.
Still, I think it's a great app, and I look forward to seeing what new things you develop.

Okay, I got it: It is not about the tags itself.
The strange tag disappearing happens only if you add tags using the "Add a tag" on new photos. All old tags will resist, because they are attached before you opened the photo page. If you assign the geotags first and then add some morre by hand everything will be alright, too.
I'm tweaking it... stay tuned!

You can now even add tags after you went to lunch, got a cup of coffee, waste your time somewhere else and came back to your little bookmarklet.

I had the "loading map" problem in Firefox, but after "whitelisting" flickr.com in the Adblock extension it worked fine. Nice functionality, and very easy to use.
One thing I miss is the possibility of generating a Google Maps link that could be posted in the description. www.blockrocker.com/ has this function, and it seems quite useful for non-geo heads.

Hey, thanks for all the positive feedback! I now just can't keep my hands of it anymore%)
So here 's a quick update for you guys:
- Faster loading time (only half of he code gets sucked)
- GeoCoder adjusted (try search for "nyc", "10101")
- Long/Lat input possible (eg. "N 40°45', W 73°59'", "40.75, -73.98")
- EXIF geo data extraction (if you've use GPS-devices)
And about the self promo thing: What do you guys think is the best way to do this? I mean: We all hate spamming, don't we? So, where should the non-geek-Google-Maps-link placed at? And is the geo:tool=mycoolbookmarklet the best place to tag this flickr discussion page?

aemkey: Personally I never understood the utility of the "geo:tool=" tag... Maybe I missed something?
Why not generate someting like this in the photo's descriptions :
Locate this place on a map. GeoTagging by aemkei's bookmarklet.
I don't like to be spammed either but I personally think that a link back to your page is completely ok in regards to what you offer.

Many devolopers think that rude "geo:tool=" (and other triple tags) would be a good way to place external machine data. And of course it is damn easy for those to see, who is using their fancy techniques.
But what about the massive non geeks out there? I always feel spammed when I see massive tag accumulations (as here or here), because there is ANY value added in a human semantic content!
In my opinion the description would be the right choice for "locate this" links and comments could deal as a place for self promo.

I agree with the coment regarding the description being the best place for the promo and "locate this" link.
As an aside, I use tags to group photos and once you start geotagging lots of photos the number of unique tags used increases significantly rendering the remaining tags less useful. ie: The fewer added tags the better... (prevent tag clutter!)

How to use the Easy EXIF geo data extraction?
My photos have geo data in EXIF already.
ages ago

|
|

@aleung: Even if I can't see any geo information in your photos it works like this:
You should see a link below your photo in the sidebar saying "Map the original EXIF geo data". Click that link and the map should move to geo position included in you photo. (Should also work automatically when you click the bookmarklet for the first time).

Hey Aemkei, Thanks for this really great geocoding tool,
it makes it much easier to pick out locations.
It would be nice to be able to pass a start location and zoom level to the script since that would allow for specialised bookmarks. something like this
Another feature that would be nice would be if clicking the bookmarklet while visiting someone else's photos brought up the map (if the photo is geocoded) with the save and search buttons disabled.

@aemkei: I like the way you've changed the geocoder to give a friendly message when searching for somewhere in the UK.
Haved you heard about the UK geocoder at nearby.org.uk? Not sure if it could help resolve searches for UK placenames / postcodes...
www.nearby.org.uk/api/convert-help.php
Would it be possible to save a map view for those who take lots of photos in one place? For example I take a lot of photos in Salisbury, UK, and since I can't search for it, could I manually position the map, and save its extents so that next time I geotag a photo, I don't have to zoom and pan back in each time?
Just an idea - but I really love the simplicity of your approach to geotagging :-)

Based on your feedback, I'm gonna add some features this week:
- UK and the rest of the world geocoding support (place names only)
- Remember the last saved position (using cookies to store data)
- Optional "Show this photo on a map" link in description
- Some shaming self promotion ;)
I am also thinking about an easy way to support batch geotagging... What do you think about it? Where would you like to use it (after upload completes, using the Organizr, in your photo set pages)? Do we really need this or may it be alright to always switch between single photo pages?

Sounds great :-)
I think the great thing about your bookmarklet is its simplicity - if geotagging multiple photos could be as slick, that would be great.
I for one am not sure if 'batch' geotagging is useful?
I would be happy with just an easy way to switch to the next photo - perhaps simply a next/previous link under the preview photo (and maybe slide the next photo across like the photostream/set/pool navigation preview, and refresh with new tags).
When you move to the next photo, the map could stay in the same place, in case you are geotagging lots of photos from the same place. The previous marker could change colour (?) so that you don't get your new marker mixed up with your previous one.
With that said - a new tab on the Organizr, where you position a marker, and drag photo(s) onto it, move the pin, drag photos... etc etc...
I like the idea of appending a "Show this photo on a map" link to the description.
As for self-promotion - hey - you deserve some! :-)
Just some ideas!

Hey aemkei, great tool.
But…I’m having a problem with my photos and I’m not sure if it’s a problem with the way the lat/lon info is stored in my EXIF data, your script or Google maps.
This picture in question is this one:
In the EXIF data I have a latitude field set to N 39° 16.96' 0" and the longitude to W 104° 53.73' 0". When I used your script it mapped it to a location about 75-100 miles north and a bit west of that location. If I don’t adjust anything and add the geo tags to the picture it sets the tags to “geo:lat=40.6” and “geo:lon=-105.216667”. If I use your script to position the marker in the correct location and then save the tags it saves them as “geo:lat=39.282596” and “geo:lon=-104.895798”
My guess is that either your script or Google maps can’t handle the format that my lat/lon info is stored in.
Thanks for the tool, any help would be appreciated.

Hi Aemkei
Your script is great, and so easy to use.
If you are looking for ways to enhance it, I have one suggestions, which dates back to the early days of geobloggers and geotagging. Hey that was just last year. anyway in the earlier times the convention was set up to put a link to geobloggers in the comments of your photos and that allowed your photos to be displayed on a map. I know there are a lot of ways to do that now include the mapper.acme.com. However this approach starts up a different window. I'm suggesting a new/separate script that just changes the flickr window and shows the same style of display as localize but with no save location button. (I'm not sure is such a script can be parceled into the flickr comments of weather it has to be a script store elsewhere). Hopefully anyone viewing your flicker stream can then click on a Show the Photo link in your comments
regards
Norm Hanson

All I would hope to see added is a line in the photo description

Hey guys: Thanks for all the great feedback! I have nearly finished the "Show me that map" link, but need to test is on different platforms to make sure the tool is working for all of you.
@imageo: I agree with you that the best place to show the map would be the flickr page itself! But it is not possible to add scripts within a photo description, cause the Flickr team has to take care of evil code injection. So opening another window which shows the photo and it's location will be the deal.
(To tell you the truth: I will release my own maps online tool as soon as I have finished that Tour de France live tracking stuff ...)

UPDATE: The link "See where this picture was taken" will now being added in the description while you save your geotags. Furthermore the last saved position will be cached so when you switch to another untagged photo you will be where you have been before. This should enormously speed up the process of batch geotagging.
@peonza: I found any bugs so it may be caused by some other scripts running? Hope you'll fixed it.
If someone else running in trouble, please mail me what went wrong and add some details about you browser setup.

Aemkei, the new version is terrific. The cached location and link-saving make it much easier to use.
I do have one possible feature request: Would it be possible to add a button for "Input coordinates" for manually setting the GPS coordinates? The map should then center around the point given. It would make sense if you have a general idea of the coordinates, but not exact.
I've just encountered this problem as I'm currently in Sao Paulo, which is not covered by Google Maps. Due to the city's immense size it is impossible to visually search for locations on the map, but using a GPS I could at least find the neighbourhood and then set the specific points from there (which would've been difficult without the coord caching, btw...)

@watz: You can do this easily by entering the gps coordinates in the "seach" input . Try "-23.52, -46.62" and you will be guided to an old stadium in the center oof Sao Paulo...

@aemki - You had asked about a non intrusive way to include credit. I would suggest using the same method as the Greasemonkey script that I use to comment.
Essentially, you put a (?) after the "See where ..." and make the ? a link back to your page or this page.
Additionally, it would be cool to have a link that points to Google Earth. Maybe a little earth icon which links to a .kml....

@jauderho: Thanks for your suggestion. I've included the little [?] pointing to this page. A KML-link would be cool! Indeed! Let me see if I can handle that...

I've also added some small changes to the script:
- An indicator shows up while saving the position.
- Auto return to normal mode, after the successful update.
- Smooth zoom when map was double clicked.
- Zoom level stored with position for batch editing.
- Larger map zoom control.
Hope you like it!

I'm using RoboGEO 4.2.0 to geocode my photos and although the software itself shows the right decimal lat/lon values, it seems like the location written to EXIF is in a wrong format, which causes your script to locate the photo's position wrong.
You said you fixed this weird dms format, but for me it's not working.

This is a great tool, but it would be even better if you could localize a photo by just typing in the lat and lon coordinates. I have a stack of photos from the Sahara, that I've taken while doing fieldwork, all of which are for sites whose geographic coordinates I have. Without zooming in to a really high resolution (which can be slow and fiddly) it's not always easy to find the righ location visually on the map - in many of these places (especially Western Sahara) there are no settlements of roads, and the landscape can be pretty bare and featureles. I've localized a few photos, but the locations are approximate at present. So a lat/lon entry tool please, just to give you more work to do! But this is a great feature, and I'm not trying to criticise!

I think you can already do that, hit the "search place" link then enter your lat/long into the pop up. Google does the rest...
BTW. I should say GREAT work aemkei!! this is a brilliant idea excelently executed. You can take this concept and extend it to geotagging blogs anything using something like delicious as your database...

I just tagged this item - don't know if the idea of being able to centre the map with a button would help but keyboard functions do make it seem easy [mine are disabled at present] - it is essentially a very clean application quite neet! :)

Another monday update: I've managed to display the photo's title when clicking the map link. No ugly digits anymore, just sweet bubble views!
I've also updated the bookmarklet page and added some shameless self-promtionional links on top in case someone would like to spread this little helper ;)

says:
I'm currently working from a local copy of localizeBookmarklet.js
because I need it to not add the "See where this picture was taken"
link to my descriptions. However, I'd like to be able to take
advantage the continuing bug fixes/improvements.
I was wondering if you'd be willing to make that particular feature
user-selectable via a parameter, so that by modifying the bookmarklet
appropriately the user could disable it.

3e; this may not be what you want but it is easy to edit the descriptor to something that may be more meaningful; see

for one I have altered.

Celebration: 100 comments! WOW!!
So, here is my present for you guys. It is one of the most wanted, even if we talked about it 50 comments back in time ;)
UPDATE
- Geocoding now works for the whole planet ( ! )
- Zoom based on geocoder's result accuracy
Try searching for places like "London, UK", "Sahara" or "Moldau, Romania". These and 6 million more places are now availible to you via www.geonames.org/about.html. Thank you boys!
So, everyone: Enjoy that cake!

@3e: I was thinking about user settings before. What do you consider would be the best way for changing the map-link? A checkbox, asking "yes" or "no"? A promt after hitting the "save" button? An input field in this tool's settings area?
