This is cool. As a heavy Instagram user and someone who's worked with their API before, I'm curious about how far back in time you're going with photos at a given location.

And a comment: many of the photos showing around me (Cincinnati, OH) seem to be misplaced, some a half mile or more from where their actual location is. I'm judging this based off knowing what store the photo is taken inside of.

Thanks. Sometimes photo can me misplaced for thousands of kilometers, for example when user posts photo from his recent travel being at home, but most of the photos are pretty accurate :)
Does Instagram strip the GPS EXIF data?
EDIT: It appears they do.
