Some digital cameras are now coming equipped with a GPS to record this data automatically and others allow the fitting of a special GPS receiver to the flash hot shoe and then they communicate the data to the camera usually by an additional cable connection. The second is to use a GPS to log the location of the photograph and then add that information either automatically or manually to the EXIF data. There are two ways to Geotag an image, the first is by looking at a map and working out exactly where the photograph was taken and then entering the information manually into the photograph.

The EXIF data is recorded within the digital image file that the camera records and this data can be read by any suitable software. Geotagging is the recording of the latitude and longitude of the location where a photograph was taken and then the addition of this data to the EXIF information that was captured by the camera when the photograph was taken. I was recently reading about the geotagging of photographs’ and decided that I would investigate it further and if appropriate try it for myself.
