Geotagging means adding geographical coordinates to something (in this case photos) usually aided by a GPS. Looking at photos on a map and knowing exactly where they were taken literally adds dimension to the experience especially if it’s someplace you’re going to visit or would love to visit but won’t be able to get to for a while.
There are a number of sites that enable you take a Geotagging photo tour including Google’s Picasa, Yahoo’s Flickr, SmugMug, Locr, and Everytrail.
"I do like to see a place before I go and study more about it," said Higham, 47, of Mountain View, Calif. "This affords me a way of seeing not just a map or satellite image but the landscape of where I want to go."
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a picture with geotagging can add a few hundred more.
Now, naturalists can map their bird sightings or chart out seal populations. Archaeologists can mark where they unearth artifacts. Travelers can wow family and friends and bring life to slideshows.
