Get tired of fancy Google Maps? Let's try an old fashion way. :)

GeoRadar is a GM script to search closest photos. A radar screen will be displayed on the left, and green points on radar indicate the locations of nearby photos. The thumbnails are on the right in order of distance from current photo, and arranged from left to right, then top to bottom. When the mouse is moved over any of the thumbs, the corresponding green point on radar will turn to red and a small compass will appear to show the direction.

More info for this script.
