Here's a tip for Flickr users who want to share their GPS information with their photos... note, in order to do this you'll need to be capturing photos using a GPS-enabled or GPS-aware camera (see you're smartphone hardware settings to ensure that GPS or location sharing is turned "ON". You'll notice that photos on Flickr can optionally be Geo-Tagged, this will enable you to view the photos on a map or access all your streams Geo Tagged photos from the GeoRSS feed (Flickr provides this to all users - see the very bottom of your Flickr page for a link to it). You can actually view all your stream's GeoTagged photos on Google maps by copy/pasting the GeoRSS feed url into Google maps or Google Earth!
To auto Geo Tag your Flickr phot uploads you'll need to enable this functionality in your Flickr account settings. When logged into Flickr, see your Account Settings / Privacy & Permissions, and set the "Import EXIF location data" to YES - by default it is set to NO. Once you do so you should be able to see your Geo Tagged photo uploads on the map that is provided.
