I've enabled the geo-tag option in my HTC Camera app. I also upload each picture to my Flickr account straight after I take the picture. How can I view the geo-tag info either on the camera or on Flickr?

one can find images taken near a given location by entering latitude and longitude coordinates into a suitable image search engine.

JPEG photos
With photos stored in JPEG file format, the geotag information is typically embedded in the metadata (stored in Exchangeable image file format (EXIF) or Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) format). These data are not visible in the picture itself but are read and written by special programs and most digital cameras and modern scanners. Latitude and longitude are stored in units of degrees with decimals[3]. This geotag information can be read by many programs...

Exiftool can be used to read metadata.
