GeoTagger Adds Positioning Info to Snapshots

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the do-you-see-what-i-see dept.

Richard Jelbert writes "Check out this hardware device to geo-tag your photos to help share / manage your photos using Google maps. The Jelbert GeoTagger device records the latitude and longitude and compass direction of every photo you take. It connects to the camera flash shoe and stores the geo metadata on an SD memory card. Geotagging is becomeing more and more popular with sites like Flickr supporting geotagging via Google Earth interface. Hardware geotagers save you the effort of geo-tagging the images manually after taking the shot. The Sony geotagger is a great step forward but the Jelbert GeoTagger also records direction data."

    is the angle with the horizontal. With all this information it should be relatively easy to build a 2D/3D map from the pictures you collect.

    Um, most handheld digital cameras dont have a flash shoe, so this is sort of irrelevant.

      Most people willing to put out the $600 investment this requires likely have a camera worth more than that. And those cameras have a flash shoe.
