I was curious to know the exact location of Graeme's recent photos but as
yet most cameras don’t log this information. Most cameras now log time,
date, Camera make and a whole load of other data but not lat and long (or
altitude lol - am I asking too much? )
With retirement imminent we are looking to get much more flying in this next
year.
I told the Mrs (Dot) that she needs to get to grips with my new Canon SLR so
that we can keep a pictorial record of our flying adventures (to come ).
She pointed out that one aerial pic looks much the same as another and it
would be a good idea to identify where a picture was taken - shame she
didn’t mention it before we purchased the camera. The fact is that few
cameras (with the exception of mobile phones) have a Geo-tagging facility.
Canon offer a solution but at £250 for that accessory was looking a bit
steep.
Enter Eye-Fi http://www.eye.fi/ it’s a SD memory card with a built in
Wi-Fi transmitter
Although not real time Geo Tagging (and we know the Europa is a speedy bird)
this wirelessly transmits images directly from the camera to a memory card
on your mobile phone. This can be done automatically as soon as the picture
is taken. Once the phone logs the image it can Geo-tag it automatically
using the phones GPS data.
For £30 this sounds like a fairly neat solution (Amazon) and should work
with any camera using a SD card which most cameras do.
I would be interested to know if any other Europhiles use Geo-Tagging to log
their airborne (or other) photos and if so what means used to log the data.

Sometimes one can deduce by triangulation 
Retire; far to young for that surely?

Carl,
Cheaper still would be to compare the time details on the photo with your
navigational GPS track log, which will also tell which way you were pointed
at the time!
