This is a important issue because Flickr's geotagging interface is not designed for accuracy, but for massive geotagging, what it is perfect for some people, but not for others. If you prefer Google Maps for mapping your photos via drag and drop interface and you care about accuracy, our project, <a href="http://www.panoramio.com" rel="nofollow">Panoramio</a>, may be interesting for you. Btw, you can later watch the photos in Google Earth <a href="http://www.panoramio.com/panoramio.kml" rel="nofollow">KML feed</a>, a much better experience than web based maps.
