Back in April, I reported on how to smoothly send photos to your Flickr account via a Helio Drift. Thanks to a recent Helio UP software upgrade, you can now set your Helio device (Drift, Heat, Ocean, or Fin) to automatically upload your photos to Flickr complete with location tags, anytime you send them to Helio UP. What that means is that now your photos will appear on Flickr's world map interface, as expandable dots in the place where you took them. I've always wanted to do this, and it just makes sense as a feature given that Helio's devices have GPS functionality built-in.

If you're an Helio Ocean user, there are a couple of updates to the onboard apps you ought to take a look at. These haven't been officially announced and according to Crunchgear that will happen on Monday, but I've seen them publicly available on my own Ocean, set them up, and given them a quick test drive.

I love Flickr, and I love my Drift, and I'm extremely happy that they are again playing nice together. In honor of the occasion, here's a detailed how-to on publishing your photos to Flickr straight from your Helio, turning your Drift into a Flickr machine:
