I think you can get a KML feed from Flickr for a geotagged pool - have a look at the bottom of the pool's photo page for links saying geoFeed or KML (eg. http://www.flickr.com/groups/astrophoto/pool/.) In that case, just paste the URL of the geo feed into Google My Maps and get a map of the pool. We've done that in the past to quickly have a look at the locations of photos in our pools.
Those feeds should work with any readymade mapping tool which can handle geoRSS or KML too.
Cheers
Jim
