Map o' Matic

I keep reading about how online mapping software, when coupled with easy-to-use tools, is transforming the world of plain old maps. So, when I noticed that Flickr has added "geotags" to pictures, I thought I'd try it out with the set of photos from Missy and Mike's visit. Click on the picture above to see the map on Flickr.

That also reminds me, since I was poking fun at Mike in my previous post, of an incident on our hike early in the morning on Mt. Tam. After 2.5 miles of fire road, with a steep downhill at the end, we came upon a firehouse and a road. I had the map. "Hmm. This just doesn't seem right to me," I say, stopping to look more closely at the map. At that point we look up and there is our hotel in front of us. Yes, I still have a finely honed sense of direction, and I managed to demonstrate it for them.
