61,344 geotagged images (map61344)

This is all the geotagged photos as of last night.

If you go over here...
www.geobloggers.com/growth/
...you'll see a bunch of images showing the growth for each new 1,000 images, that's once every 2 days.

Because it saves the files a jpg and then writes the next 1,000 over the top, the first few are getting pretty crudded up by the repeated jpg compression.

When we reach 100,000 I'll make a lossless .png. I'll probably also do USA, UK and Europe ones.

What do we learn? Well outside of USA and Europe people like to take photos at the coast.
