As videos can now be geotagged, it will be cool to have south
(latitude), north (latitude), east (longitude), west (longitude)
parameters to define a geographic bounding box.

When used only the videos within the bounding box will be outputted.

Adding this feature in addition with lat/lon tags in the output will
allow great mashups with google maps

I also wouldn't mind having the ability to search all geotagged videos.  I suppose I 
could specify a really large bounding box to get most of what I want, but it would 
be nice to simply search ALL geotagged videos.

A geo-restrict parameter has been filed as a separate issue:

Yeah, it'd be nice to have a geo-restricted and geo-bounded filters.

Would love to see this available, I have a site this would be cool on :)

Like Wikipedia database, we need a table who containt in minimum the url of video, 
and it's latitude and longitude. After, it's possible to make sql spatial search on 
the table.

Look my participation at this thread in geonames.org forum, download the mysql 
wikipedia database and see the readme file:

Hello Jeff, 

Recently, I had a response from Panoramio forum about the same feature I 
want to have with videos and Panoramio team build a API for show the nearest 
photos where you are in Google Maps. 

I integrated this API in www.map2explore.com

My question : Do you have a API like this for Youtube? 
http://www.panoramio.com/api 


The forum thread:

Thanks. 

Pierre

A mashup like this would be easy to build once the API allows you to search based on
a bounding box or a radius from a lat/long position.
Comment 11 by joaquin.keller, Jun 24, 2008
Yes, panoramio and geonames.org (among others) have APIs that allow to query data
located within a bounding box.
Will youtube  have this feature soon ?

And now, what's matter?
Comment 13 by jfis...@youtube.com, Jun 30, 2008
Nothing is the matter. :) 

There are some boring, technical reasons that are preventing geo-search right now,
but this is being worked on.
Comment 14 by pierre.legault, Jul 01, 2008
Perfect!

If you need help I look for a job now. :(

@smil:

Your atlas looks nice, but no videos get returned :(
