Geotracking or Geotagging your pics

If you ventured to this blog and read my first 2 postings, you're wondering what's going on. Well, let me connect the dots for you.

In my ideal camera with GPS we figured that it does not work since you would have to keep your gps on all the time or it will take a very long time to get your location to mark the pic. But if your GPS recevier was connected or even better, part of your cellphone - and it had a software to take advantage of your cellphone's connection - you could get your location in seconds.

Snap your pic, go to your phone's gps software, and voila...in a matter of seconds you have your coordinated so you can write them down in your pic log (you do keep a pic log when you travel, right?).

Now if only someone had a bluetooth or usb connection from the phone to the camera so your pic gets "mapped" instantly, life will be good. Even better if your phone had software that pulled the pic from your camera, add the coordinates, and send it directly to Flickr or post it in Panoramio exactly where and when you took it.

Keep enjoying your travels..
