Just found out that Picasa Web will not show you a nice mini map with album and photo locations if it thinks that your language preference is not English (US). If you're logged in with your google account, you should go to picasaweb settings and choose English (United States) as you language preference. If you are not logged in, ensure that in your browser's language preferences "en-us" is on top of the language list. Other languages may do the job too but English (US) is known to work.
After you've made the changes you should see a map of album locations in my photo album home page.
