Wow, nicely done. Small, light, clean and fast. A search for castle titles pulled up just what I wanted.
Looks cute enough that I want it on my phone!
If I were to add one thing to it, it would be a link under each photo to download the location as a GPX waypoint. That way if I searched for statues in London and saw a couple I wanted to see, I could quickly add them to my GPS unit.
But that's just me!
Nice work,
Dan.
PS. I think it's kinda hard for any application to be a competitor with any other one as at the end of the they all support the end goal, more geotagged/georeferenced photos. The more of this stuff we get out there the better.

I like it. I had a little trouble opening up the kml file.(I got some kind of parse error.) But the rest worked fine.
Well done.

Thanks all - I'll look at the KML file tomorrow, it's possibly as a result of some description/html mangling I added last thing.
You might have noticed that if you click on the "Google Maps" or "Photos" link on the maps of photos page, the URI includes a list of photoids.
I want to add a tick box to select/deselect individual ids so you can prune the list down to just a few photos, then swap back into the map view, bookmark the link or copy it into an email etc. e.g. here are some photos of mine:
flyr.whatfettle.com/photos?text=&tags=&user=psd&a...
Anyway, following Dan's idea I've added a 'GPX' link at the bottom as a sibling of Photos|Maps|Earth, so you can download the whole list, and when the pruning is available, it should do what you want.
Let me know if the GPX file works for you - naming the waypoints is tricky, given Photo titles can be quite long and might not work on some GPSs, so I've gone with the flickr photoid for the moment.

I haven't been able to reproduce the kml parse error from my testing, so if anyone hit this, send me the URI and the file, that would be great.
However there does seem to be an issue in IE on Windows XP - opening the kml file directly gives a popup with "could not read ~temp-file-name~ for reading". The work-round is to save the file then double click it, or use Firefox which doesn't exhibit this problem (well on my kid's PC). I'm guessing either I'm missing some HTTP header magic, or it's an IE security/domain thing.

First! Great Application! Outstanding!
I think found the problem with my kml file. It is a parse error. One of my titles is <name>Wings over the Rockies Air & Space Museum Nose Art</name> . The "&" may be causing an xml parse error. On the geobloggers kml it is a little different.
Flyr.kml
<name>Wings over the Rockies Air & Space Museum Nose Art</name>
Geoblogger.kml
<name>Wings over the Rockies Air & Space Museum Nose Art</name>wingsmuseum.org...
Once again, what you have done is very cool!
May we include links like <a href="http://flyr.whatfettle.com/photos?text=&tags=&user=bluedharma&folder=flyr&per_page=20&page=1&ids=" target="_blank">example Flyr link</a> on our pages?

Ah - First, thanks for the thanks!
Second, d'oh - i need to escape ampersands, etc - should be fixed now
Last, yes please feel free to link. Linking is always good! If you want to link to individual photos, that's possible too, using the ids=aaaa,bbbb,cccc,ddddd parameter, you can easily get that by clicking on the "Photos" link from the "Photos" page, etc
I plan to add more parameters to control the initial zoom levels and map types soon.

i agree this is a truely outstanding little application.
I've already blogged about it (bit embarassed i didn't ask first)
imageo.blogspot.com/2005/09/flyr-fudn.html
(and even sorrier that I posted the wrong link here)
and that has gotten me thinking, could there be a way to save the search and like it through a standard looking blog button like "flyr My Photos"
anyway thanks so much psd, its a wonderful app.

Linking is good. Blogging is better :-)
Thanks for the rave review:
imageo.blogspot.com/2005/09/flyr-fun.html
And yes, you can easily add a link to your blog. For example see "Geotagged Photos [RSS]" in the right hand sidebar on my blog:
blog.whatfettle.com
flyr uses HTTP GET and doesn't use cookies, so it's perfectly safe to cut and paste any of the URIs into a hyperlink on your own site ..
If you worry about the performance of flyr, then please let me know.
Also, you're free to install it on your own site to adjust the look, feel, caching etc yourself so long as you release your modified code too under the GPL license - see About page. Attribution would be nice if you did this.
Actually I, or someone else, could easily write a wordpress plugin if there was enough interest.

Great app. Not knowing anything about programming, would it be possible to add a "within this group's pool" search field?

Hi Blue~Canoe. Flyr currently uses the photos.search API call. Unfortunately the API call to search within a group pool is somewhat more limited. I guess I could grab a load of photos from the pool and discard those which don't match a given criteria, but that could be quiet inefficient. I'll think some more on this ..

This app is brilliant - just one gripe, a lot of my family holiday photos are private but we would love to use your map to see them overlayed on where we've been. Any chance of authentication?

Thanks, Lovingit! - I'll have a think about authentication. an alternative could be to display pictures which include the secret id.

Seems to be broken following Google withdrawing version 1 of their API and upgrading to version 2 has put me into hours of "javascript hell", it's not proving to be a straightforward upgrade. will fix and report back.

Hello, Paul. Once again, gr8 work.
Don't you like to add support for license parameter?
When I need to search photos in certain area, licensed with Creative Commons to distribute them, e.g. highlight them on a sightseeing (hate this word :)) site.
Also it seems that the number of photos in search result is very strict (for viewing them in Google Earth).

It doesnt work now for my geotagged photos, and its a pity because I have all the descriptions with a link to this great app :(

It's an interesting tool, I really should learn how to do some of this stuff myself.
If I do a search for my own images, it only finds a handful of them. Is this because Flyr limits the number of points it finds or because the Flickr API only serves up my most recent images?
