 Geotagging is the process of putting items on the map.  I like geotagging and use it as one of the primary ways of categorizing my photos.  Over half of my photos on [[Flickr]] are geotagged, with most new ones being geotagged.
 ==Ways==
-There are 2 ways to geotag.
+There are 4 ways to geotag.
 *'''Manual''' - Drag items on to the map on your computer.  Jet Photo Studio and Flickr allow you to do this.  I tend to drag a cluster of 5-6 photos on to their approximate locations.  Sometimes if I am very lazy, I will just put all the photos from one building in one spot.  For example, I might pictures taken in a museum in a single point, even though I could spread the points out to correspond where in the museum an item is.
-*'''Using a logger''' - I own an [[AMOD GPS Logger]] which automatically records geolocations.  I then use [[Jet Photo Studio]] to link the geologs and photos.  You could also use a camera with a GPS.  These are currently expensive add-ons for expensive cameras.  The AMOD logger works with any camera ([[AMOD GPS Logger|see its page]]).  Newer cell phones with GPS are starting to geotag.  This is how geotagging will be done going forward.
+*'''Using a logger''' - I use a dedicated [[geologger]] to geotag.  The geologger is always recording my position.  I then use GeoSetter to link the geologs and photos.  Geologgers work with any camera, since the software merely compares the timestamps of the photo with the geolog.  Note: make sure your camera's time is set exactly correct (I use [http;//time.gov time.gov] to set my camera to the second).

 **Tip: Add /map to the end of a set URL to get a (new, ugly) map of that set
 *[http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9450 Flickr Gmap Show] GreaseMonkey Script.  Works in Firefox 3 with Greasemonkey installation.  Allows you to see nice Google Maps.  But only you.
 *[http://loc.alize.us Loc.alize.us] - Allows you to share Public maps of your public Flickr photos.
 *[http://gpsed.com GPSed.com] - Allows you to upload tracks (need to convert in GPSBabbel or JetStudio) so you can see and share the track of where you went.  Can link with Flickr or Picasa to attach photos to your tracks.  They will do the linking and geotagging for you - no program needed.  Can also track from a GPS enabled smart phone (?must pay for the app to do this) instead of uploading AMOD tracks.

-*[http://www.jetphotosoft.com/web/home/ JetPhoto Studio] Free version and pay version $20 or $25 - Came with my GPS device.  Photo manager software and also includes a log manager.  Can import, geotag, write geotag to JPEG, and upload to Flickr.  Can convert GPS tracks to KML and display tracks (with photos) in Google Earth.  I bought the pro version - but I don't know if I had to.
+*[http://www.geosetter.de/en Geosetter] A new program that I found around April 2010.  I don't know how I missed it before, it works awesome; it is really well done.  It has very good support for setting timezones and offsets.  It processes the logs much faster than JetPhoto.  It shows a Google Maps view of the log directly in the app.  You can eaisly edit your EXIF data here.
-*[http://earth.google.com Google Earth] - Displays tracks and photos in a nice graphical interface to the globe.  Almost everything works with this program (by offering KML).  Good way to view things on the desktop.

I used this until I discovered Geosetter.  The only feature I have not yet discovered in GeoSetter is a Google Earth export (it does Google Maps instead inside the app); use GPSbabbel to make.  I no longer use JetPhoto Studio, and I am kinda glad.
