Google map of London with Flickr shape data overlaid

Flickr place info now includes shape data for many places. See the Flickr code blog for more.
We’ve correlated most of Dopplr’s places with Yahoo WOE IDs using Flickr’s reverse geocoder, so we can use this data too. As an experiment, I wrote some clientside code to overlay this shape data onto the maps we use on Dopplr. Help yourself to the code if you want it: gist.github.com/25502
