Check out the ability to combine Flickr with geotagging! You can combine your photos on Flickr with a map. This allows you to pinpoint to others exactly where the photo was taken.
Try the following link: http://www.flickr.com/groups/virtualmountainrange/pool/map?mode=group
If you enlarge the pink dots located on the map of North Carolina, you should be able to see three photos I snapped on my summer vacation in June. This map is currently being used by an environmental protection group that is concerned about the destruction of mountain ranges for coal mining. By asking advocates to post their mountain photos and pinpoint where those photos were taken, EarthJustice is hoping to raise awareness in their campaign against removal of entire mountain tops during mining in the United States.
Libraries use this to pinpoint the locations of their branches with maps and photos (see http://www.rwl.library.on.ca/). Add Letters was fun to use (check out Capt Jack Sparrow at the bottom of my blog).

I was exploring geotagging back when I uploaded the library branches to Google maps, and was pleasantly surprised to see many pictures from this area. Even the barn at the corner of Nafziger and Erb's Road! Somewhat related is geocaching, which could be fun if done in the right way. BTW, love the plug for RWL, lol.
Wow Sheryl, that's awesome! I'm really impressed with your map and the pictures are stunning.
