Google Map on a Flickr Photo Page - by me!

Today I spent half an hour writing my first Greasemonkey script. It’s pretty simple, just displays a little Google Map on a Flickr photo page, with the location of the photo (if available!). I had a look around but couldn’t find an existing script that did this, which was quite surprising. It was made an awful lot easier by the new Google Maps Static API.

If anyone can think of a snappier name let me know :)

Now that I think of it, possibly the reason it hasn’t been done before is that the Google Maps Javascript API made it too hard (or even impossible??). Who knows. Anyway, it’s my first attempt at a GM script so its VERY simple and VERY rough. Post any suggestions/ideas in the comments!
