iPhone – Geotagging your photos
Geotagging your photos
If you have read the article on �Geotagging� on this website you might be pretty excited
about this feature. But to actually turn on the geotagging in your iPhone for the first time
may seem a bit tricky for a newbie. To be able to geotag your photos, you need to make
sure all the following settings are properly set:
The location feature must be turned on. You can check this on the iPhone settings.
Simple go the home screen, tap settings and here tap general. You can see a setting called
�location services�. This feature should be turned on for geotagging to work.
The iPhone should know where it is. Sometimes the iPhone�s GPS card may be a bit
confused about its location. This may happen if you are indoors and the iPhone is not
able to get a fix on the satellite signal. This may also happen if you are located near a Wi-
Fi hot spot. Strong wi-fi signals can easily confuse the GPS card on the iPhone.
If you have set the location services and the iPhone has a good GPS coverage, will the
photo get geotagged? Not yet. There is another small setting you need to take care of.
You need to explicitly let the iPhone know that you want to geotag the images. When you
use your iPhone�s camera for the first time, you get a message that says ��Camera� would
like to use your current location�. At this point you should select OK to let the camera
application know that you want to geotag the photos.
