[edit] angle etc.

Mention that coordinates aren't good enough. Azimuth and elevation angle of lens is needed too... --User:Jidanni 2006-07-27

[edit] Our own use

To what extent has this technology been tested or implemented in Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons? Where should I look? --LA2 15:27, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Our image repository Commons has a few pointers, see commons:Commons:Geocoding. --Para 16:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

This link is subjective and worded like an advertisement - certainly not language of an encyclopedia. Suggest it's removed (again).

How would you suggest it is worded? It is clearly not an advertisement as there is no profit or gain to be made from hits, it is simply an example of a website that uses geocoded photographes, much like panoramio.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.212.49.206 (talk) 09:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Since the collection of sites supporting the technique will continue to grow and the mechanics of the process is what is important from the perspective of this page, I suggest we keep the list simple, with only features that are relevant from a geocoding point of view. For example, if a tool supports inclusion of lat/long plus altitude or other metadata. Planeteye 04:20, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Need for focus on photo geocoding hardware and software

Since the data from any GPS that can record tracks is usable for photo geocoding, I feel it's better to focus on devices that specifically include software to geocode photos. GPS loggers and trackers should be separated off onto a page just on that topic, or listed on the GPS page. I have edited the list to include only units with specific photo geocoding support.

Also, there is a confusion between "methods" and "software". Methods should cover just the major approaches: automatic in-camera, manual, automatic synchronisation after photo download. I have made this change. Rakerman (talk) 11:02, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
