If you want more acurate mapping then until Flickr/Yahoo update their maps you can use this site http://labs.sumaato.net/tools/fl...de\\_bookmarklet/
Grab the bookmarkelt and pull it onto your Links bar, you still have to do each one singly but you get a Google map to place the link on.
Then use the Flickr importer http://flickr.com/account/geo/import to import those tags into the Flickr format. You will then have to go and remove all the ugly geotag tags from each image. But if you're a stickler for map accuracy then this is probably the best way to go for now.

Windows Live Local is fantastic - I could gawp at it for hours. You even get satellite shots of incredible clarity.

I too was less than impressed with the poor quality of the UK mapping that Flickr provide.
However, if you switch from Map view to Satellite view you can zoom right into the spot you want to tag, much more easily than using a map (which is, after all, only an analogue of the real world anyway).
Use the Satellite view - it's very accurate indeed.

But the satellite view is terrible if you're outside of London. Looking for y Dad's place in Coulsdon and I am unable to zoom in anywhere near enough to make an accuate guess.

Hmm, I swear that close-up satellite view wasn't there yesterday. Thanks, I've just tweaked lots of my Metro-land photos to shift them into the right spot.
But yes, the view is still terrible if you try venturing outside Greater London.

You do, in fact, have the 'little giant' correctly placed at 20th and Church. The Aquatic Flowers room at the Conservatory of Flowers is a little off though. It's further south and west (and inside the park).

And that's where Rickmansworth is! I've always wondered since Douglas Adams quipped in the intro to Hitchhikers:
"And then one day nearly 2000 years after a man was nailed to a tree for suggesting how good it would be to try being nice to each other for a change; a woman sitting in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly knew what it was that had been going wrong all along. She knew how the world could be made a good and happy place, and this time, no one would have to get nailed to anything"

If you prefer Google Maps instead of Yahoo Maps for mapping your photos and later the possibility of watching the photos in Google Earth KML feed, our project, Panoramio, may be interesting for you.

Mid-November update: Flickr maps of the UK suddenly got good. And about time too.
