But what is Geotag ?
If you geotag your pictures or an image of a specific place (the pictures that you shot last year during your vacation) that means you can easily search about these pictures. Or if your pictures are published in public confidentiality, other visitors can get more information about a specific place.
So Geotagging is marking a video, photo or other media with a location. It is used to help people find informations (videos and photos) based on locations but also it is used to create location based news and media feeds by combining an application like Google Maps with geotagged blogs, news articles and Flickr photos.
Images are one of the oldest types of media to use geotagging. Certain formats like the JPEG format allow for geographical information to be embedded within the image and then read by picture viewers, which allows the exact location of where a picture was taken to be saved with a photograph.
Smartphones with built-in cameras and GPS have made geotagging images a breeze.
By geotagging blog posts and updates on your social network, you can easily alert your friends to your location. You can also track yourself through your own lifefeed
