I have only been able to find new homes around my zipcode. I want the ability to wander, if only in my mind. Hopefully, I will be able to use this great tool, to find my new location. Thanks for all the very hard work that went in to making this information available. Kudos to the great techs!! I have spent hours looking for a site exactly like this one.

(I outline this in my blog post on the subject.) The flickr folx state that for those of us who've already been using the geotagging community standard tags within the flickr picture's tags, we won't have to do that much longer and that it's Unsightly. So, they've hidden the long/lat inside the page code in an XHTML-like manner. I tend to disagree with that approach -- I think there's compelling reasons to make the long/lat values visible in the text on the page. Anyway, the new features are freakin' awsome!

I got a chance to test it out today. I'm curious though, why haven't you added a Geocode tag standard. It seems like it would be beneficial to code Flickr Pictures with a lat and long standard tag. This is an important element that you can bring to the community - a standard for Geotagging Great service. I got a chance to test it out today.
