Flickr has updated the mobile version of their website to allow you to search for pictures taken near your current location. The websites asks for your permission to look at the phones current GPS position and then returns photographs which are geo-tagged with nearby coordinates.
Imagine in a hundred or five hundred years people will be able to look at famous photography from the coming years and then go and stand on the location that they were taken with pin-point accuracy. That’s regardless of wars, natural disasters, or plain old progress altering the surroundings, the GPS coordinates will not lie.
That’s pretty dope and it really makes me wish my DSLR had a GPS unit in it. The next one sure as hell will!
