3. Definition of Geo Tagging
GeoTagging is the process of adding geographical identification metadata
to various media such as a geotagged photograph or video, websites, SMS messages,
QR Codes[1] or RSS feeds and is a form of geospatial metadata. This data usually
consists of latitude and longitude coordinates, though they can also include altitude,
bearing, distance, accuracy data, and place names.
A geotagged photograph is a photograph which is associated with a geographical
location by geotagging. Usually this is done by assigning at least a latitude and longitude
to the image, and optionally altitude, compass bearing and other fields may also be included.
5. PhotoRoute – inclusive approach
Geolocated images taken from the walkers perspective
Directional arrows reinforcing direction of travel
Simple way-finding instructions
Available in widest possible formats
This is a really good idea: an app from Enabled City for "accessible, editable
route maps" in London, aimed at people with physical and learning disabilities,
as well as people speaking English as a second language. That means step-free
routes for people using wheelchairs, and photos taken along each route to aid
navigation.
