What does “Geotagging” actually mean?
The term “geotagging” is sometimes also referred to as “geocoding”.
Using “geotagging” e.g. photos, or videos, can be complemented with
geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude, or physical address). This
geographical identification data is saved together with the photos. Thereby
photos can be assigned easily and explicitly to maps like GoogleMaps, or can be
viewed on Google Earth.
Via the locr web site the coordinates are determined by manual geotagging.
Together with the respective photo they are stored in the locr data base.
The locr GPS Photo software works differently. No matter whether the
coordinates have been associated using manual or automatic geotagging, the
information is written into the EXIF* header of the photo. Suitable software can
read and use this information.
