1 Aaron Sauer and Jeong APLNG 083T

2 Geo-Everything  Everything on Earth’s surface has location—expressed in two coordinates  Easy to capture/determine exact location  Geolocation, geotagging, and location- aware devices  Geolocative data can be manipulated

3 Geotagging (geolocation)  Associate digital resource w/ physical location  Adding geographical meta data to photos, RSS feeds, and websites  Define coordinate, location name, etc  Refer to the location the page/photo is about

4 Mobile and web-based services  Radar Radar News, blog posts, restaurant reviews, etc  Buzzd Buzzd Local Info + user ratings and tips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94FePaLyPag  Trak and Twinkle—mobile Twitter clients Add location to tweets indicate friends Show tweets

5 Cont.  Collage Upload geotagged photo Browse photos nearby or around the world  Mobile Fotos Flickr browser/ uploader app Geotag photos before upload to Flickr

6 Don’t have a device w/ built-in geolocative capability?  Many other options  Free or Inexpensive tools to capture and display geolocative data are available  Photo Finder by ATP Electronics  Nikon GP-1  Google Maps  Google Earth  Flickr Maps

7 Photo Finder by ATP Electronics and Nikon GP-1  Capture GPS data and synchronize it to a camera’s data card to geotag the photos automatically.  Won’t have to think where you took the picture  Track the exact location and time of where your pictures were taken  Photo Finder Photo Finder  Nikon GP-1 Nikon GP-1

8 Google Maps and Google Earth  Who has used Google Maps and/or Google Earth?  Anywhere in the world  Google Maps Google Maps - iPhone -Labeling Streets, Neighborhoods, Buildings  Google Earth - satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings Google Earth

9 Flickr Maps  Viewers can see at a glance what tags are currently being applied in a given region.  http://www.flickr.com/map http://www.flickr.com/map  Search anything you want  Pictures from all over the world uploaded to Flickr

10 Education  Study migrations of animals, birds and epidemics  Data can include weather, population and urban development  Study and track trends/patterns  Create annotated maps and real- world locations related to works of literature The Travels of Marco Polo

11 Virtual geocaching  Placing media in an online “drop box” and tagging it with a specific geographic location  Drop.io Location geocode your collection of content—“drop” embedded map use a GPS to go to coordinates and find a cache

12 Pros & Cons  Broader access to greater amount of info (ex. field research opportunities, social networking)  Geotagging ideal for retail sites and tourism sites  Privacy issue  Data overload

13 Questions  What would you most use the technology for?  What did you learn today that you didn’t know before?
