Description from the AppStore: locr is a popular geotagging photo community specialized in travel photography, which visualizes the location on maps and satellite images from Google Maps, Google Earth, Yahoo Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth. Furthermore, locr supplies additional information about the subject and location using content from Wikipedia and other sources.
locr may be compared to the popular Flickr and Panoramio. Unlike Flickr, locr specializes in geotagged photos.
At locr you can also create your personal travel photo book with high quality printable maps and Wikipedia descriptions. These travel photo books are sent by mail order and are an ideal gift for your family and friends.
locrExplorer allows you to browse photos published on locr.com. View nearby photos, locate photos on a map, browse friends' photos, post to Twitter,…
locrExplorer also allows you to geocode photos and to upload them to locr.com. At locr.com users can share geotagged photos and create physical travel photo albums with high quality map data.
Some features require a free account at locr.com.
locrExplorer uses the location services built into iPhone and iPod Touch to geocode your photos with latitude and longitude coordinates. Best results are achieved with the iPhone 3G or 3GS which have a GPS chip built in.
