I geotag most of my photos when I travel as I feel it is a great way to remember where they were taken, and when the geotagging technology becomes more mature, it is a great way to share and explore the world by photo. I posted before about flickr providing kml feeds of your photos that can be viewed in Google Earth. Recently I stumbled across a piece of script that grabs a set of photos from flickr and creates a kml for them that can then be viewed in Google Earth or on Google Maps. The code was written by Adam Franco and can be run from his site, or you can host it on your own server.
Essentially what this allows me to do now, is create a map of part of my trip (or an entire trip) that shows the path I took with images also visible, and then embed it into a post via Google Maps. Below is a test that outlines my month long tour of Australia.
