I bought Cindy a new camera<\/a> for her birthday, mother’s day, or some recent holiday. We have several very nice SLRs, but the camera I purchased had the unique capability of geotagging pictures as they were taken. In other words, the camera has a built-in GPS and coordinates are stored as part of the image file.<\/p>\n

Cindy is preparing for some interesting adventures (e.g., a trip to Russia in September) and we anticipated that the geotagging capability would have some very interesting educational applications. We returned a week or so ago from the NECC convention in Washinton, DC and the trip gave us the opportunity to evaluate what we might be able to do with this camera.<\/p>\n

I had intended to do this demo in Picasa, but it turns out the geotag feature does not presently function in the version available for the Mac. So, I return to my Mac fanboy roots and resorted to iPhoto. I try to be even handed but what works is what works.<\/p>\n

So, here is what one can do with a collection of tagged images in iPhoto.<\/p>\n

\"dcmap\"<\/p>\n

Here is the map of the collection. You can click on a pin to see photos taken at each location.<\/p>\n

\"americanindianmuseum\"<\/p>\n

Here is a photo taken outside the American Indian museum. You see both a small insert of the image and then the location as available from Google Maps.<\/p>\n

\"whitehouseactual\"<\/p>\n

Here is a photo of the White House.<\/p>\n

\"whitehousegps\"<\/p>\n

Here is the the photo and the location identified by the geotag. At first the map information confused me – no white house. Then it I realized, we are standing on Pennsylvania Ave. on the other side of the fence shooting through the trees to frame the picture.<\/p>\n

All images that appear here have been greatly reduced in size to fit within the form factor required for this blog.<\/p>\n
