In January we have implemented the ability to geotag photos captured with the FLOW app. We show the location information when viewing the photo on the dashboard, but there is not way to put the photo on the map.
The problem geotagging solves is to prove and show that the photo submitted in the form is truly from the place of interest and that enumerator did capture the picture when being in the correct location. Thus we need to be able to also show the location on the photo on the map in respect to the location of the data point or geographic shape.
An idea on how to show the location of geotagged photos on the map (CartoDB maps) is to reuse the same UX as for geographic shapes once a data point is selected:
show photo in the side bar
under the photo show a the collected coordinates
'Show on map' button besides the geo coordinates
once clicked on an 'geotagged photo' icon is rendered on the map
'Show on map' changes to 'Hide from map' and vice versa
We should also look into the option to be able to add photo's location in the custom maps.

Needs to be discussed further.
