Flickr not recognizing geotagged photos

Greetings,

Has anyone else using RoboGeo had trouble with flickr not picking up the geotagging information?

Here's a picture I took from our vacation this week and if you look at the EXIF info you'll see the lat/long info yet the "place photo on map" link shows instead of the location. Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

Here's the sample:

Go to Account > Privacy and check that the option "Import EXIF location data" is set to "Yes" ...

cbmd: You nailed it. That option was turned off. I wonder if flickr will automagically save that data for all photos that have it now or do I have to place those photos on a map?

You have to place them on a map or else re-upload (replacing is enough).

Tim,

You and I have exchanged numerous emails in the past. RoboGEO is a GREAT piece of software!

@zackjones: there is an external web app that can re-sync your existing photo's exif coordinates into the flickr map (and also into the "old" geo:* tags), so you don't need to manually re-map nor re-upload all your photos.

I don't recall the name or url though, so you'll need to search or wait for someone else to tell us.
