Trippermap is an application that allows people to geotag their photographs and place them on a Google Earth map to allow them to show off their travel photos and track their progress. The map created by the app is accessed via a flash widget that is placed on a blog or website.
Once the widget is set up and placed on the blog or website then it will automatically search the person's Flickr account looking for photos featuring geotags or location information and plots these images on the Google Earth. The images can also be tagged with the name of a city or country.
The Premium version of the service which costs $9.75 USD per year includes the ability to show routes taken on trips, links to Google Earth and a Google Maps version. It also provides for the inclusion of more photos taken in more locations.
This is a good, simple example of a mashup app. Thanks Simon.
