www.customidea.com What is geotagging? It’s a question we often get asked by Nikon camera owners yet this area of photography is becoming very popular. Geo tagging, more often called ‘geotagging’ is the process of adding geotags to your photos. Geo tags, or ‘geotags’ are extra tags of data which include latitude longitude and altitude and together define a specific location. Wouldn’t it be great if all your Picasa or Photobucket images included the exact location they were taken? Well fortunately your favourite DSLR, for example the D200, D700 or D3 and many others already support geotagging and now, instead of buying an expensive Garmin and a long adaptor cable you can buy a direct connect geotagger — the GeoPic II. This great geotagger will geotag your pictures direct on the Nikon camera and straight into the EXIF data. Once the tags are there you can use your favourite photo managing software, for example Picasa, or Adobe Photoshop, or other software like Opanda, KUSO EXIF viewer, Nikon ViewNX, Apple Preview and JetPhoto Studio to use the tags. Typically photographers use the software to see their photos overlaid on a map which is a great way to display your pictures. This HD video shows just how easy it is to connect a GeoPic II to your Nikon camera and start geotagging your photos. It also shows how to see and use the geotags later in Picasa and Google Earth.
