Facebook says no to image geotags

I have been searching the Internet for a while trying to find how to use the geotags I have in the images I share on Facebook. I was sure I would find an application or some plug-in that would do it. I was wrong !

Facebook can’t use my image geotags :(

However, to this day I have been unsuccessful. There’s no way to use the geotags I have already in some of my images on Facebook. Yes, Flickr’s way of doing geotagging is old and contorted, but at least you can get your pictures showing up on a map. On the other hand, Facebook has nothing…only an application for showing the places I have visited or lived in. That’s only putting some thumbtacks on a map.

Say what?

Well…if you have found a way to use geotags on Facebook, please let me know !

Hey Sven…thanx for the suggestion. I’ll take a look and see. My hope however was that if I have geotags built into my pictures, that Facebook would just be able to use them.
