I've seen it happen a hundred times. You're out in the forest taking a little photo-safari when you come across an old dead tree stump that's infested with leprechauns. Yeah, I said leprechauns - those little green guys with a pot-o-gold and three wishes. Nobody's going to believe me, you think as you snap pictures of the wee folk.
Your photos intrigue the director of antiquities at the National University of Ireland, in Maynooth, and insists you take him to see the home of the fae. Unfortunately, in your haste, you forgot the way back to the magical tree stump. Way to go, dummy.
This whole sad situation could have been avoided had you simply geotagged your photos. Geotagging is a method by which you stamp your photos with the Longitude and Latitude in which the photo was taken. Plotted on a map, you can see the trail you took and where each photo was taken. Brilliant!
Stuff this little pager-size device into your backpack, or your pocket, and it quietly keeps track of where you are at all times. When you copy your photos back to your computer, your PhotoTrackr Pro syncs up your time-stamps with the GPS coordinates it stored. Now you know where, within 5 meters, each photo was shot.
Sure, your reasons for geotagging might be more mundane - keeping track of where you saw that purple and orange sunset (boring), that epic waterfall (snore), or perhaps a rainbow sorely lacking in leprechauns. The knowledge of exactly where you were when that shot was
