Geotagging Geotagging allows you to add geographical information to the metadata or EXIF file of your digital image. This data usually includes longitude and latitude coordinates, date, time and sometimes altitude, bearing and place names. Geotagging comes in different forms, but the most precise way is using a GPS device that logs your whereabouts and synchronizes your camera’s clock to the same time. This allows you to find the exact location of any shot. Using software, combining a GPS unit with your camera or tracking coordinates with new external devices are some of the ways you can integrate this technology into your workflow. While some are easier than others, most of the techniques are easy to master. Simply setting your camera’s exact time to a GPS unit that can log your whereabouts is enough to pinpoint where you took a photo. Geotagging takes it a step further by matching the EXIF data from an image with the GPS coordinates that were recorded while you were out in the field. Since most GPS devices can record your position, software is later used to geotag (also known as “geocode”) each image.
