This is a WordPress.com feature, however there are various plugins you can install for similar functionality on a self-hosted WordPress blog. Run a search for “geotag” or “geotagging” from the Plugins> Add New menu and you should turn up some options.
User Jesse P. Luna demonstrates the Geotagging feature of WordPress.com, including how to activate the feature, configure it for your location, and work with it when creating a blog post.

Hi Jesse, I am really interested about geotagging my posts but I dont have that option on my Users Your Profile SubPanel. My subpanel is like this one http://codex.wordpress.org/Users_Your_Profile_SubPanel.
Could you explain me, how could I get this new option?
Eternal gratefulness from spain,
