Nice script, but I have two suggestions:
1) I'm not getting the image loaded at firts time I load the page (I only get an error icon). I need to right-click on it, click "See image" and then reload the page to actually see the embedded image. But this could be my fault. Any one having this problem too? I use Firefox.
2) I would advise you to convert the image to a link to Google maps, or add some control buttons to zoom out or move. The problem is sometimes such an small map gives almost no info on where the place actually is...
Thanks ;)

Thanks Toni!
1) Yes i did notice that error on another computer i tried, but havent had a chance to investigate the differences. What are you running? Mac/Windows , Firefox version?
2) Yes the link to Google Maps i had in mind. As for the zoom/move buttons, this isnt possible using the Static Maps API, since the map you see is literally just a GIF image. (i suspect the reason no-one had tried this script before is becuase the Google Maps Javascript API made it too messy/restrictive?!)
Another thing I need to fix is to have it keep the "Taken in .... " text and just add the map below it, rather than replacing completely.
Keep em peeled for version 0.2 ;)
Thanks again
Iain

Ok, maybe it's because I have firefox 3b5, but I just get an empty item with a not found image.
The image location is:
maps.google.com/staticmap?center=51.524488,%20-0.071722&a...

Iain, I use Firefox 2.0.0.13 on Windos XP.
As for point 2, I think a link to Google Maps to see there the location would be the best solution. Keeping the "Taken in..." text would also be a great idea, but still I think the map linked to Google Maps should be there.
I'll wait for v0.2 ;)

OK here goes, version 0.2:
* Image is a clickable link to Google Maps, at the given location.
* The "Taken In.." text is preserved.
I also tweaked the image URL slightly to stripout whitespace (note the '%20' bit in mortimer's url above). Please let me know if this fixes the image loading issue (as i said it has always worked fine on my machine - Mac / Firefox 2.0.0.13 / Greasemonkey 0.7.20080121.0 )
userscripts.org/scripts/show/25247
Todo for Version 0.3 - when you get to Google Maps, having clicked the thumbnail, the marker is not displayed to pinpoint the exact location - cant figure out how to do this yet :(
Cheers,
Iain

Just tested version 0.2, and I still am having the problem of image not loading at first. I need to use right mouse button over the error icon to force viewing the image and then reloading the page shows the image embedded. I'm using Windows XP/Firefox 2.0.0.13/Greasemonkey 0.7.20080121.0.
The link to Google Maps at the given location is a great addition, and works well. I have no idea about how to display the marker...

Oh and also I just discovered userscripts.org which hosts GM scripts and tracks how many people have installed it.
userscripts.org/scripts/show/25247
cool!

Great idea!
Unfortunately, I'm located in Spain, so the Flick map information comes with a comma (,) instead of a period (.)
Apparently, Google can't read those URL's:
BAD =
maps.google.co.uk/maps?z=14&ll=40,95288,-4,131041
GOOD=
maps.google.co.uk/maps?z=14&ll=40.95288,-4.131041
It would be great if you coud use some kind of regionalization according to user's machine.

Great info Charlie, thanks. I'll see if there's a way I can accomodate that in the script.

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.4 on a Windows XP machine, and I'm having the same problems mentioned by those above. No image, just the placeholder.
After I right-click and use "view this image," then I can hit the "back" button and see the map's icon in the page. But I have to do this every time I view a map-enabled page.

Hi all! First post here.
I have the same problem as Saint Seminole here on FF 3b5 it-it and Flickr (italian).
I made some editing to the js code:
var coords = coord.split(' ');
var lati = coords[0];
var longi = coords[1];
lati = lati.replace(",",".");
longi = longi.replace(",",".");
var ll = lati+longi;
I replace "," with "." because Google(It) doesn't works with ","
Now maps are loaded but only if I do Saint Seminole steps.
I think most problem are in the "&" in the variable imgUrl.
The "&" are converted in "$amp;" when printed in the Html.
Then the browser can't load the url.
I also tried many ways, eg. an url like this:
var imgUrl = 'http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center='+ll+'&markers='+ll+'&zoom=14&size=150x150&key='+GMAP_API_KEY;
Anyway... nothing.
Browser can't load the image in the cache.
???

I'm getting the same 'View Image' and then return to the photo page issue.
Great idea for a GM script and I'd love to see this become popular! I'm surprised Flickr haven't thought of this themselves...
