Digikam supports geotagging photos, which is great - but unfortunately, there is no way to make use of this location information.

KDE 4 brings Marble (http://edu.kde.org/marble/), a desktop globe widget that can be embedded into other applications.

What I wish is that geotagged photos are displayed/marked as dots on the globe, so you can search specifically for images taken at a certain location/area. I imagine the desktop globe to be a similar "tab" like the current folder tree or the tag search. All images that are currently visible on the globe should be shown in the image list. The more you zoom into the globe (and thus restrict the area), the fewer photos are shown.
