Fire Eagle has launched — a broker for your physical location, which other applications can use to improve user experiences. It’s really just APIs and geekery at the moment, but the applications that use and enable it will start appearing pretty quickly — I’ve already got a couple of ideas.

Wicked cool use of Flickr’s geotagging — Overlay maps with the tags most commonly used on photos taken at those locations.

Good overview from Tom Coates on how to get your cellphone geotagging and uploading photos automagically. This is the process I use, and I recommend the Nokia 6682 highly. It’s a decent-ish camera, and a great phone.

Software to merge the timestamps on your photos with the route file from your GPS to automagically geocode your photos ready for Flickr.

My photos from our Scotland trip, overlaid onto a map of Scotland. Hooray for Flickry goodness.
