I'm glad you found semaflickr useful for geotagging your photos. It does have the ability to use the geo:lat and geo:lon system for tagging photos. The reason it is avoided in the current version (it was default in earlier development versions to use tags for geolocating photos) is that it result in a lot of queries when you are browsing photos which really increasing load time. If you have ten photos, with the new style non standard photo tags from Flickr, you can get all the information to browse these pictures with just one query (can even fetch 100 at a time). But if you use the tags system (geo:lon, geo:lat) then you have to for each of these 100 photos, issue another query to get the tags (and hence the geo:lat and geo:lon information) which becomes really slow. If you think it would be interesting to get the photos from other sources, other than Flickr, please feel free to suggest something to me and if it works on the Mac, then I may be able to see if it can be plugged in. Best! Hi!

I prefer using the EXIF geo-information, rather than any proprietary tags, for all the usual reasons, mostly portability. A register of locations would be a handy facility. As for Windoze users, I'm sure they will welcome their version when it is ready. But plese, don't get trapped into ignoring the OSX version. Thanks Jacob.

At present it's not using the Flickr geodata API so relies on Flickr importing the location from the EXIF data (that PictureSync will preserve or write), but support for their API methods is being added too (and has the benefit of working when updating previously uploaded photos). I'm actually also expanding PictureSync's own geocoding (geotagging if you prefer) functionality, and an address book of locations is planned for that, along with easier integration for Google Earth. Ref to the time that the Windows release is taking—I've been balancing other work with its development so its has been on hold for the past month…it'll definately be out before Christmas though (in as much as that's reassuring)!
