iPhone – Geotagging
Geotagging
Sounds like a fancy word doesn’t it? If you start talking to a geek (iPhone really is very
geek friendly) about a GPS system and a camera, then they might start talking about
geotagging. So its time you understood what geotagging really is.
You might have seen the little time stamp on the photos you take with your iPhone. This
is a rather simple application. The iPhone uses the inbuilt clock to embed the time at
which the photo was snapped into the photo. Now considering the fact that your iPhone
has an inbuilt GPS along with the camera, wouldn’t it be nice if it could store the location
at which the photo was taken along with the time at which the photo?
This is what geotagging does. It embeds an invisible value for the latitude and longitude
at which you were when you snapped a photo into the photo that was taken. Your iPhone
can tag almost every photo you take. With this you will add more value to every single
picture you take from your iPhone. With this you can arrange your pictures by
chronology or by location. iPhone really makes things nice and easy. Next time you take
a photo talk to your geeky friends about the geotag embedded in it.
