Brandon – I hadn’t heard of Klick (http://klickmap.com/). I’ll check it out, and see how it compares. Thanks!

Martin and Randy – I’ve tried AirMe (and have heard about Mobile Fotos), and they didn’t send full sized photos, or preserve geodata in the photos I tested with (or offer the option to geotag at upload time), but that was a while ago. Have they added those features? Perhaps I should give them another look. But right now, Flickup is the only app I know of for sure that does the things that are important to me – full size uploads, and geotagging.

So, a free app called AirMe will do the same thing for free, but that’s not what I wanted to tell you.

I’m thinking of doing a post on my workflow to Flickr with my “real camera.” I’ve wanted a cheap/easy way to geotag all my photos from my Canon XTi for a while, but most of the solutions look kind of painful and frankly, most of the photos in a given set are in the same “place” at least from a lat/long perspective.

Essentially, I take a picture with the iPhone with AirMe, upload it and then copy all the geo info over to the rest of my images in Organizr. Not exactly rocket science, but I always have my iPhone with me, so I can always get accurate geo-data.

I wish there were a way to copy this geodata into Lightroom, but it seems I gotta wait on jfriedl to write a solution for this.

Looking forward to meeting you at Gnomedex (I don’t think we’ve met in real life before).

Cheers,
Randy

Haven’t tried Flickup, but Mobile Fotos is a Flickr-specific app that does everything you’ve mentioned and more very nicely indeed. Worth checking out.

Great stuff! I was just telling my wife about this app last night and she downloaded it right away!

I’ve been using Adobe LightRoom to upload my pics to Flickr on my mac (Flickr Uploader for Windows Live Gallery on my PC). Check out this picture: http://tinyurl.com/6r93ub It preserves the lon and lat info but doesn’t automatically link it to a map

Not sure if this link will work… it would take you to the page that shows lon and lat: http://tinyurl.com/5nsba9

Since James recently mentioned AirMe for iPhone photo uploads to Flickr, now’s a good time to point out Flickup, an iPhone app thatJosh Bancroft recently put through the paces. I see two huge advantages of these free app over similar ones: it sends the full 2-megapixel images up to Flickr and it can work with geographic data. Most other solutions including iPhone e-mail send pics at a reduced VGA size, or 640 x 480. Flickup
