Dear Flickr, your new geocoding service is awesome. But could you
please switch to a map provider that has more than two roads for the
entire city of Paris?
I know Paris is kind of a new city; some of the streets are only 800
years old and Haussmann did
make a mess of things in the 1850s. But really, sometimes you want
to find a specific street.
Flickr is owned by Yahoo so it's no surprise they're not using Google maps in the geocoding interface. But it's bad for users. I'm taking some very site-specific photos in Paris now and my current geocoding solution involves Google Earth, URLs as comments on placemarks, and a bunch of XML hacking. Ick. |
