Put Yourself On The Map

worldmap

Those map links on the right side of the page are a great way to see

where Zodiac users are located around the world. When a photo is

submitted, the location is geocoded to get latitude and longitude

information, pinpointing each photo with a red dot on Mikel Maron's

Flickr photo mapping service, Mapping Flickr. For photos submitted in

the U.S., tags are used describing the location and Mappr does the

rest. These maps are interactive: You can pan, zoom in, and click on

individual photos for thumbnail views and more details.

If you're the first person to submit a photo from a country, you'll

put that country's flag in the "Photos By Country" section where

photos are grouped using tags in Flickr. If you don't see your flag

displayed, show some national pride and make a submission! If your

country's flag is already flying, post a photo to add your country's

group and the worldwide group of Zodiac Users.

It's time to put yourself on the map. Send in your photos and please

provide a location including a street intersection, city, state, zip

code and country, or actual coordinates if you have them. If you

aren't comfortable giving an exact location, please feel free to use

the largest nearby city or town instead. Doing so will put your photos
