Automatically Geotag Your Digital Photos
Sony is introducing a new GPS device that will let you easily add geolocative information to digital photo files and browse your snaps via a Google Maps app using Sony’s Picture Motion Browser. According to a press release, the two-ounce GPS-CS1 GPS device ($150 when it goes on sale on SonyStyle.com in September) is about three and a half inches long and simply clips onto your belt loop or keychain and records your location over time, as near as I can figure. You then import the GPS information, and some Sony image-tracking software matches locations to photos based on timestamps.
Once synchronized, your photos can become virtual push pins on an online map by activating the Picture Motion Browser software bundled with the latest Sony cameras and camcorders released after July. You can easily add new photos and coordinates to the mapping web site, courtesy of Google Maps, and showcase years of globe-trotting.
Neat. Would love to hear more about this, if anyone has any links.

[…] I want one… Sony is preparing to introduce a light-weight geocoder with software to make geocoding photos easy. Although I wish geocoding photos was easier than dragging along another device… […]
Speaking about “geotagging”: do you know locr?
locr offers the ideal solution and makes geotagging exceptionally easy. Using a datalog GPS receiver like the Sony GPS-CS1 in additon to your digital camera, the GPS receiver data and the digital camera data can automatically be linked together by the locr software.
With locr you can upload pictures with GPS information in them without any further settings. In the standard view, locr shows the photo itself, plus the place it was taken on GoogleMaps in map, aerial, and satellite shots, an overview of other photos from the proximity of the place it was taken which have been uploaded onto the site, and the postal address, key words, and comments. If you want to know more about the place where the photo was taken, just have at look at the Wikipedia articles which are also automatically assigned to the picture.
Have a look at www.locr.com.
