Geotagging with the Tilt

Now that I have my new HTC Tilt (that just so happens to have a built in camera and GPS), I can finally play around with a technology that I have been wanting to for a while. Geotagging. With this phone, I am able to take a photo and have the GPS coordinates logged in the EXIF data so that I can map where the photo was taken.

Here’s my first test photo taken in the parking lot at my office uploaded to Panoramio:

Too bad the camera on the Tilt isn’t the greatest….but it will still be fun to play with until I get a better camera with a GPS built in 😉

Placing these geotagged photos into Google Earth along with some geocaches found and GPS tracks from my trips might make for a nice presentation of the trip. There’s a lot of cool possibilities with with technology 🙂

Now if only Canon would make a point & shoot camera with a built in GPS….
