Tip - Use Flickr and loc.alize.us - when presenting geotagged photos.

Found that it is a lot better to use Flickr when presenting geogtagged photos, than Smugmug. I tried hard with Smugmug before I changed.
There is a tool in Smugmug only available for the owner of the account: "Geography" under "Make This Gallery Smart" under "Smart Gallery Settings" under "Gallery Settings" - where you can localize geotagged photos using a circle area tool on GoogleMaps - but this is not available for other people searching your galleries.
This is about the same tool as if you are using loc.alize.us and Flickr. With Localize you can combine geo-search with keywords.

Maybe my geo-search demand is very rare, presenting aerial photos, even if think everybody working with outdoor photography could benefit from geotagging.
Even better if you can use AND + OR with Advanced Search Function as in Google search.

I wish this in the forum some time ago but did not get any voting points!

Have starting upploading my photos over Sweden south:

I will follow the development of Smugmug and if they implement this advanced search function I will consider to change again, because Smugmug shows images in a better way.
If somebody have found other, even better solutions, I will be happy for sharing.
