geocoded photos now in PicasaWeb

PicasaWeb, the Google web photo gallery, has now got improved metadata features, including supporting geocoded photos (although it is not clear from their blog posting, it will read the EXIF-GPS for the exact location, if available).

See e.g. a photo I took in Regent's Park

There is also a one-click link to view the photos in Google Earth.

If you want more info about this topic, I have a page on geocoding photos.

A couple notes:

• you can upload to PicasaWeb directly from inside Picasa
• You can manually geocode from within Picasa and PicasaWeb
