How To: Embed Map with Geotagged Photos for Your Blog

So you have a bunch of photos geotagged with GPS-capable cameraphones like the Nokia N95 or the Nokia N82 and want to show it off on your blog. Here’s the tutorial on how to do it so you and other bloggers can show off where you’ve taken your pictures. This was how I was able to embed my map in my blog posts.

Go to any page with the geotagged photos on Flickr. You can use sets or tags. I usually select tagged pages. At the bottom of the page, look for the geoFeed link. Copy that link url.

Go to maps.google.com and create a new map using the My Maps tab.

Create New Map

Click ‘import’ and enter the geoRSS url you copied from the top

Import

At the top right corner, click on ‘Link to this page’ then ‘Customize and preview embedded map.’ Here you can change the size, zoom level, and map type before you grab embed code for your blog or websites.

That’s it! Let me know if this was helpful to you. A sample post with embedded map is the Laguna Beach California Sunset Geotagged with the Nokia N95 NAM post.

As an aside, you can also view your Flickr photos on a map by adding ‘/map’ to the end of the Flickr page url. You won’t be able to embed that map for your blogs, but pretty neat nonetheless.
