GPS tagging: Adding Location Data to Media and Beyond

 GPS Tagging 

GPS tagging, or geotagging, adds geographic information to digital media, such as photos, videos, or websites. This information can include latitude and longitude coordinates, place names, and other positional data.

GPS tagging can be helpful for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Sharing photos: Sharing the location where a photo was taken
  • Keeping track of shooting spots: Keeping track of favorite shooting spots
  • Creating location-based media: Combining geotagged media with an application like Google Maps to create location-based news and media feeds

GPS tagging can also be used for other purposes, such as:

Monitoring offenders

Using GPS tags to monitor the location of offenders on release from prison, such as those serving time for domestic abuse or knife crime.

Monitoring animals

Using GPS tags to monitor the location of animals, such as cattle, to help with pasture feed intake, biosecurity, and theft detection
