Map Your Image: GeoTagging your image Using A BlackBerry




ABSTRACT

The advances in GPS1 technologies has enabled us to get more precise GeoGraphic location information on our smart-phones. Maybe you’ve used GPS on your smartphone to get step-by-step driving directions, but what else can you do with GPS? The purpose of this paper is to create BlueSLR, a real life smartphone application that integrates GPS and BlueTooth technologies to add GPS capability to your camera, enabling the user to map their photo. This is called Geo-tagging, a GeoGraphic footprint which includes coordinates, speed, heading, direction and altitude. This information from your smartphone is transmitted via bluetooth to the camera which eventually would be saved on the image on the memory card. Furthermore, by investigating the Nikon cameras API, I examine the possibility of remote controlling the cameras functions.
