What does "explored" mean on Flickr?

Is there an iOS app that maps out all Flickr explored images?

  • When I travel to new areas I love to find spots off the beaten path a bit. I imagine Flickr explored images would be a great source for such spots. Is there an iOS (preferably iPad) app that will highlight only explored images on Flickr on a map?

  • Answer:

    Photographer Trey Radcliff (of http://stuckincustoms.com fame) is planning to release an app in Nov 2011 that sounds exactly like what you want. It's called Stuck on Earth, and it's for iPad only (free). It has Explore functions, as well as being a great tool for photographers. It will pull photos off of flickr, and have crowd-sourced curation. They're still testing now, but Robert Scoble did a video interview with Trey that explains it in detail, and Thomas Hawk has a good article about how he is using the beta version. Links to Scoble's video and Hawk's article can be found at the bottom of the landing page for Stuck on Earth: http://www.stuckonearthapp.com/

I understand the frustration right but there seems to be no api provided from Flickr to just find out something interesting/ offbeat images about a place     . That is one more relational input that a customer can have into their account if not from Flickr then off it.

I think that there is no API as a decision to get you to go to the site and use their map tools. There has to be some value-added product that is available only on the website and it seems that they choose to make that their GIS photo data.

I don't know of a great Flickr app for this, but Trover is a different photo app designed for exploring geolocated photos near your location. It's not hugely popular yet, but I've found it mildly interesting to check out while traveling.
