The complexity of answering this question can vary a lot based on what exactly it is you're trying to do. I'm assuming generally you want people to upload an image and then type in an address or potentially navigate on the map and drop a point where the image was taken. Assuming just the first possibility you'd need to Geocode the address to get the lat/lng this explains geocoding http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/flash/services.html. The second option clicking or dragging some icon to a location on the map then getting the lat/lng from the click or drop event would require http://www.codigoactionscript.org/langref/googlemaps/com/google/maps/interfaces/IPane.html#fromPaneCoordsToLatLng(). Then the other part is how you're storing these "geotags" you could have a DB you store them in along with the images (or ids for them at least for reference to update the location or delete ones) or else if you want to geotag directly into the file you'll likely have trouble doing this client side it'd probably be easier to handle through a server side script to modify the jpg or whatever but you'd have to put the info in the correct offset in the file to be sure it's only seen as metadata... more on that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotagging. So yah there's some ideas for ya let me know if any of this helps or if you had something else in mind. Shaun
