lostcarparkFlickr has a nice feature that you can drag photos onto a map to mark where they were taken. I'm not sure if it's a new feature, but I've only just discovered it, and it can be quite addictive, especially when hi-res arial photography is available, to try and place each photograph as accurately as possible.
How long can it be before digital cameras will have GPS included so the coordinates will automatically have geographic information encoded in their metadata, and every photo will have precise coordinates attached. This may already be possible to a lower degree of accuracy with cell mast data on cameraphones.
Of course, like all technologies, I'm sure someone will come up with a way to abuse it.
Isn't technology wonderful?
