![]() ![]() It is probably no coincidence that Google is adding this ability. If you use Picasa and Google Earth you can easily add the geotagging information to all of your pictures. Google is now bringing geotagging to the rest of us. Thanks to another Google Maps this get even easier: if you visit my personal photo gallery you can click on a button next to the photo and a map of the area appear. And if you publish your pictures on the web other people can even find that beautiful location that you found. How many people remember exactly where they took that one particular picture 5 years ago. Granted, it may not be useful for the leaning tower of Pisa – everybody knows how to find that one – but for pictures taken at a remote locations it is very useful. Sure, once you have geotagged a photo you can always read the coordinates and use a map or another GPS device to locate it again. Why would you want to geotag photos anyway? Not everybody has a GPS device and even if you did how many of you used it to record the coordinates of where you took your pictures. Determining the exact location of where pictures were taken and embedding that information into the picture itself, or using Flickr to tag the picture with the coordinates. Geotagging used to be something that only GPS junkies did. The latest version of Picasa adds a nice new feature: it’s letting you use Google Earth to embed the geographical coordinates of where your pictures were taken.
