GeoFlickr

GeoFlickr is a Wordpress plugin that displays a map of the location where the photo was taken, for all embedded Flickr photos that contain GPS coordinates. For every photo in a wordpress post/page that is hosted on Flickr, this plugin adds a small red balloon in the top left corner when the mouse is hovering over the photo. If the photo is geotagged on Flickr, meaning it contains GPS coordinates in the EXIF metadata, a click on the balloon displays a pop-up featuring a Google Satellite map of the surroundings. Thanks to Tarique Sani, author of the Flickr foto info plugin, no longer maintained and not working anymore, on which GeoFlickr is based. GeoFlickr features:

• very discrete overlay on the image
• jQuery and thickbox
• Most calls to the Flickr API are done on the client side - so there is minimal additional load or delay on the server
• If your photo has geo-location data embedded, shows it as a marker on Google map with reverse geo-location to fetch the place name
• HTTPS compatible
