The problem is not in the application, though, but in the data (always blame the data...). When more photos are available (more and more people upload and geotag their photos on Flickr), finer details will emerge in higher and higher resolutions all around the world. So, the tagmap that you show on this page might actually be a lot better next time we update our servers. Thanks for the post - and the deficiencies you point out are absolutely on the mark.
