I hope that your knowledge of geography will be better than the iStock one�

I thought France WAS the center of the world!

Firewall, we are planning to open the sale channels during the next summer more or less.

GeoStockPhoto allows authors to optionally insert up to 10 keywords although such research has not been implemented on our website yet. You may have heard that other big players are changing (or have already changed) the system of keywords search by giving priority to different keywords following the order of insertion and penalizing all authors who insert more than 10-15 keywords. We are on the same road, but we are telling you that from the beginning.

Some technical updates: we've added in the evaluation page the parameters suggested by gillian and we've assigned to each user a coefficient that indicates its precision while adding geographic location in his pictures. The latter is calculated as the number of photos with a correct position on the total number of submitted photos.
Anyway, we are still working on the new evaluation process. I'll keep you informed.

I've just registered and uploaded first photo
I like the idea of geotaging photos, but correct position is sometimes not enough. Direction of lens can be useful in many situations. Something like here (camera icon with green arrow):
http://radom.ws/index.php?n=Tekst.Mapa&Rx=51.40005&Ry=21.1585&Rk=21&Rt=Grafika.03795
Maybe additional field (optional), where submitter could choose direction (N,E,S,W and maybe NE, ...)?

Thanks Marco.

Most of my images have the GPS coordinations embedded. The direction should speak for itself when looking at the map.
