Tag your photos with GPS positions
Sony today announced cameras that tag photos with GPS data.
Excellent. Just as I predicted in april 2005:
In a few years, most cameras and cameraphones could have small GPS units inside, that stores the exact location every picture is taken.
It’s nice when the future (for once) comes faster than predicted. Now, let’s have those flying cars, full meals in pills and holiday houses on the moon.
BTW, Eirik claims it was his idea. 
Possibly not, but four years ago I travelled through Alsace in France with a digital camera and a Garmin GPS. After the trip I matched the time stamps in the GPS track with the time stamps of the images from my camera.
If you have an old-fashioned camera that doesn’t tag your photos, have a look at “Adding GPS data to your photos”.
And Sony: Pleeeeeease hire someone creative to name your products. The new GPS unit is called “GPS-CS1″. Hello? You make a unit to tag pictures with GPS and then name it the same as the previous version of the world’s most used app for editing the same photos; Adobe Photoshop, now in version CS2. Lame, lame, lame. You don’t have to name every single Sony product “three-letters dash two-letters-and-a-number”…
