Even though the camera sucks, it’s still nice to have the iPhone geotag photos you take with it.

There are many apps that upload these photos to Flickr and place them on the Flickr geotagged map. However I tend to sync all my iPhone photos to my PC first, and then use FlickrSync periodically to keep my local library in sync with Flickr.

Unfortunately, there was a critical problem with doing things this way. Flickr wasn’t placing the geotagged photos taken with my iPhone on the map. Basically, it wasn’t reading the EXIF data to populate its own geo fields.

After finding this post in the Flickr forums, I visited this page to turn EXIF geo import on for new photos, and then visited here to go back through my old photos and reprocess the ones with geo data.

Now I’m all set and have a (sparsely) populated map.
