Our photographs have embedded geography data that many of us have painstakingly curated since it was used in the old smugmug. Please allow us to make full use of this data by adding a simple "map this" button to individual photos- perhaps next to the information button- and please restore the "map this" function to all galleries, not just the most recent or most popular. I can't imagine this is a difficult request to implement. The data are already in Smugmug's databases, and legacy smugmug had at least some of this capability.
The location information associated with natural history photographs is extremely important. Scientists are increasingly using web searches to gather data on the ranges of species in the wild. Several new species have recently been discovered on flickr, for example. Some of my photographs are the only ever taken alive of the species they illustrate, and the geographic coordinates are a huge part of the value of the images. You've already got the map data stored- can you let us use it? Please?
