More new map tiles
We’ve added new tiles from OpenStreetMap for two cities on the Flickr world map:
For Kabul, Afghanistan…
…and Baghdad, Iraq.
The pictures in Kabul are from jddorren08, martien van asseldonk, susanmhall, deckwalker, Wendy Tanner, UNHCR, crzy_ray and the images taken in Baghdad are by Ammar almosawy, NikonShooter, and Army.mil.
In other geostuffs, Aaron has written a post over at code.flickr about the new “shape files” we’ve (well, Aaron & Dan really) been able to create from all the geodata you’ve given us. A shape file shows what Flickr thinks the “edges” of a country, state, city and even a neighbourhood are. Super cool!
