This is a site to allow you to geotag other people's photos on Flickr by suggesting a location to the photo's owner. Likewise, someone else can offer you suggestions of where your un-geotagged photos were taken.

Ich verwende aber nur die OpenStreetmap Karten. Die Software ist wirklich gut und jedem zu empfehlen, der viel mit GPS und Geotagging arbeitet.

Sparked by previous discussions, I wonder if anyone is aware of any successful projects/tools that allow users to geotag resources on the web (or to contribute corrections/enhancements to things already tagged)

Diskussion Museum Computer Group: User generated / crowd-sourced geotagging? I'll just give one practical example..  Take an image such as one of the Normandy landings from the Imperial War Museum - http://bit.ly/cIr4zG.  The description tells us it was taken in Villers-Bocage.  I could then (or perhaps even an automated tool could) generate tags that put it in that locality.  And then someone who lives or visits there should be able to track it down pretty easily.  In fact people have done such things - see http://virtualfunzone.com/normandy-1944-then-and-now.html - but for all their effort, without that relatively small step that such a tool would have facilitated nothing has gone back to the original images.  Without that an opportunity of providing an enhanced experience, whether through a web tool like HistoryPin or via a mobile based AR app, is lost.

"Wer bisher dachte, dass die beiden Wörter "Hundefutter" und "Foursquare" niemals in einem sinnvollen Satz miteinander verwendet werden können, liegt hiermit offiziell falsch. Der Grund für diese linguistische Meisterleistung ist die Kampagne eines deutschen Hundefutterherstellers namens Granatapet. Für Besitzer und Besitzerinnen von Hunden hat Granatapet nämlich eine eigene Foursquare Kampagne gestartet, die ganz neue Möglichkeiten des LB-Marketing aufzeigt."
