I just purchased a Galaxy Nexus. People think we are Apple only, but this is not true. We diversify to explore.<\/p>\n

One of the features that most interests me about smartphones is the camera. It turns out I am not a big fan of talking on phones. The “camera you have with you” is one of the most important educational features in my way of thinking. I have been taking a similar set of pictures for the last couple of phone cameras just for fun – some stored on Flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is an interesting feature of Android phones I was aware of before<\/a>, but the feature is now available from the built in camera app. If you like, you can automatically geotag the images you capture. So, for example, the image above was taken overlooking the English Coulee. If I upload this image to Flickr and view where it places the image (enlarged as much as possible), this is what I get.<\/p>\n

This positions me on this map within 10 feet of where I took the image (the Chapel shown in the image is relatively new and does not seem to show in the satellite view, but you can see the fountain). I drew the red arrow to approximate the angle of the shot.<\/p>\n

I think the potential of connecting visual information to a location has great potential.<\/p>\n
