working with geo-location and flickr for conkers event

As part of the conkertu project i want to use conkers as an example of adding additional ambient context/content to a project by geo-tagging photos and then attaching media (video/audio/textual) posts to that location.  i have been using flickIT on my iphone to take snaps and geotag them as i walked around parts of conkers.

One of the problems with this on flickr is that they use yahoo maps (as they got bought out by yahoo) and the maps have NO detail of the area whatsoever.  I was suggested to use bing maps but we will probably use google maps as we already have some codebases for working with geo media and gmaps to import our already geo positioned photos.

One of the biggest problems with geo media is that an area can get messy very quickly so we will be looking at various techniques to splinter down the areas dependant on zoom level and combining media types together for a region.  we will also try and keep an archive of those event periods so you can pull up the content for each event.

Exciting stuff thou.
