My Pics Map is a mashup of Flickr and Google Maps. My Pics Map allows you to quickly display your own Flickr collection on a map. You can also view on a map the Flickr collections of other users simply by entering their user names. If you don’t have any Flickr images your own or you don’t know of any Flickr users whose collections you’d like to view, simply click on explore and zoom in on an area to view images for that area.

Applications for Education
My Pics Map could be used by students to discover images related to cities, countries, and regions that they’re studying. Students that go field trips and overseas study tours can use My Pics Map to share and provide geographic context of their pictures.
