This Yahoo! service works with Nokia 60 series mobile phones and allows you to send your cameraphone photographs to Flickr along with your location and coordinates.
GeoTagging, sometimes referred to as Geocoding, is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as websites, RSS feeds or images. This data usually consists of latitude and longitude coordinates, though it can also include altitude and placenames.
Geocoding also refers to the process of taking non-coordinate based
geographical identifiers, such as a postal address, and converting them
into geographic coordinates.
GeoTagging can help users find a wide variety of location-specific
information. For instance, one can find images taken near a given
location by entering a latitude and longtitude into a
GeoTagging-enabled image search engine. GeoTagging-enabled information
services can also potentially be used to find news, websites, or other
resources.
It’s a shame that the ZoneTag will only work with certain Nokia mobiles but all the same it’s an interesting service. It would be great if our DSLRs could have GPS built in, I am sure they have the processor power. If they only allowed bluetooth (which would have other uses too, such as transmitting and transferring photographs) they could perhaps work with off the shelf GPS units.
