Gerry and I put together this quick presentation on geolocation, geotagging and photography. This is one of the topics that we are excited about at the LFS Learning Centre this fall (Sep 2008). The K-12 Educators in the audience loudly told us that for this to work - it has to have a straightforward workflow.

1. Mashing up photos and information with Google Maps

2. 1) Turn on your GPS at your starting point

3. 2) Get the GPS to create a track

4. 3) Go for your walk & take pictures

5. 4) when back, plug in, download file

6. 5) Export track file from GPS software

7. 6) Use GPSvisualizer.com to change GPS track file into KMZ

8. 7) Upload it to any webserver http://homepage.mac.com/gpaille/cavell.kmz http://homepage.mac.com/gpaille/cavell.kmz http://homepage.mac.com/gpaille/cavell.kmz http://homepage.mac.com/gpaille/cavell.kmz

9. 8) Search Google Maps using the file URL
