If a picture is worth a thousand words, a picture with geotagging can add a few hundred more.
Now, naturalists can map their bird sightings or chart out seal populations. Archaeologists can mark where they unearth artifacts. Travelers can wow family and friends and bring life to slideshows.
"When you add a map to a presentation, you've added another dimension, especially if you say, ‘I took this great trip to China, and it was 5,000 miles over the course of a month’ and they see a route," said Andy Williams, general manager with the photo-sharing site SmugMug Inc.
Higham has used geotagging to help friends and family track his yearlong journey around the world and a rafting trip later down the Colorado River.
