What's The Name Of This Photography Web Site?

Question

A while ago, I went on a web site where people uploaded photos of their town on to the web site and the site tried to build a map of photos so that you can type in a postcode and it brings up photos of that area. I think it may have had 'Geo' in the name somewhere, but I can't remember the name or URL address of the site and can't seem to find it on a search engine. Ten points go to the first correct answer.

Answer 1

dunno

Answer 2

The term used is "geotagging." Granted, the site you are looking for may have used a variation in their site's name. There are many sites that use geotagging. This embeds GPS geopositioning data in the image. The data is the latitude and longitude accurate down to the second in some cases.

Another way geotagging works is utilize a service on a site.

Google Earth uses Panaromio.com for images. Google Maps does the same. Many other photosharing sites like the popular Flickr has a geotag function so you can place your sets on a map.

These would be a great places to start. It may not be exactly what you are searching for, but now that you have the term it may make your search easier.
