Geo-tagged

28 01 2010

One of the things I dig about using my iPhone to take pictures is that they are automatically geo-tagged. It’s nice that it just happens and I don’t have to think about it.

Adding location data to pictures from my regular camera is just a giant pain in the ass. Even when I do have a GPS track available. Most of the photos from my fall vacation should be geo-tagged, since I had a GPS with me the whole time and I saved the tracks from most days, but I uploaded them all to Flickr from the road and it’s even more of a pain to fix the photos I’ve already put up there.

So the other day I was wondering when we’ll finally see GPS chips in normal cameras, and along comes Engadget to tell me that Panasonic has anounced a GPS-enabled version of my current camera.

Awesome!

This could be the first time I upgrade from a camera that hasn’t been lost or broken.
