Congratulations Charles, I think you are the first person to link a photo to Google Earth. With the new Sony GPS it will be very easy to accruately log where photos have been shot

Yes, it give more acturate info than a rough hand-mark location at Google Earth here. ;D

Btw, got other birders in Taiwan and elsewhere also marking birding locations in a world map.....

Btw, found another interesting stuff after the recent map support of Flickr.

There are several thousand bird photos geotagged on the big map.....
