geoFlock gives you a suite of in-built maps and mapping tools for your web browser (now based on Minimap Firefox version, but retaining geotag dialogs).

Create and save a sidebar map using the addresses or address links you find on web pages, or by manually adding locations. View traffic Info, drag and drop kml files, Geotag Flickr photos within the Flock photo uploader, geotag blog posts within the blog editor (including microformat geo class values, view in google maps/google earth links and insertion of quikmaps.com maps).

Hi-Def San Francisco are doing some amazing things with their San Francisco Bay webcam :

time lapse ships videos
real time shipping map that uses AIS data
panoramic panoramas dawn moon night

How do these work ? It's as if they've turned a photo into a Google map and are using the Google map player to display it ? Can anyone do this ?

Upload your photos to Panoramio and geotag them !

Then add the following into an iframe on your site

http://www.panoramio.com/plugin.php?lt=51.5&ln=-0.1&z=5

Set these parameters

lt = latitude
ln = longitude
z = zoom (1-10)

and optionally add these parameters

k = kind of map, 0 = map, 1 = satellite, 2 = hybrid
user = youruserid !
