When going through a box of old photographs or viewing the
latest digital pictures on your computer, did you ever ask, “I wonder where
this photograph was taken?” Now a free software tool can record the exact
location of every digital picture in your collection. This includes old family
photographs that you have scanned as well as new pictures that you or someone
else takes with a digital camera.
This product will not do the detective work for you. You must still find where the picture was taken in the traditional manner. For instance, "Here is Aunt Millie and Uncle Fred at Niagara Falls" or something similar. You then scan the photograph, saving it as a JPEG image. Once the photograph is on your hard drive, you use this small Windows program to embed the longitude and latitude information into the photograph in a hidden area of the image. Once the information is recorded, you and future viewers of the image will wonder no more. Even better, with the appropriate software, you can just click on an icon to display a map that shows the exact location.
