Once you get used to the new mapping feature, you'll love it. I found out about it while playing on Flickr last night.
However, I have heard that the Yahoo maps used may not have the resolution in Europe that the U.S. have.

The Flickr geomapping works pretty well. Robert is right though, the resolution in Europe isn't so good. It only appears to map to main-road level, not smaller streets. I've geomapped several of my pics (username Pwdin) if you want to see how it works.
