Geotagged Images & Maps on This Site

Click on image for size & mapping.I've been working for several days on a better way to take images, tag them with their latitude and longitude, and display them on the site, both in posts and on maps. Well, I think I've finally gotten it all together. From this post going forward, if an image tells you you can see it larger and map it, you'll be taken to Flickr.com when you click on it. There you'll see my larger versions, as well as links to Google Street maps, Satellite view, Google Earth, and even topological maps. The image location will be marked for you. Try it with the image in this post of the fish at the Red River Fish Hatchery, click on it.

Even better, as I take new photos, they're added to a great mapping site, and you can view maps by items of interest in the Taos area. As each map has the links to the others at the top, I'll just take you here to the Taos Arts Map as an example. All are easily accessed from the Maps tab at the top of every page. You can zoom, change map type, and mouse over the icons or the images for more information.

I'm trying to map every hotel, motel, b&b, business, building, restaurant, gallery, studio, horse trail, hiking trail and campground in the Enchanted Circle area. To do that, I need to take a photo at the site, but I don't mind, and it's free. I want this to be the best site on the Web for Taos area information. So, if you have a business or favorite location you want mapped, email it to me, and I'll move it up higher on the list. These maps will get more on them as quickly as I can take the photos.
