Steering Through the World of Navigation Apps
Robert E. Calem
January-February 2012

Forget about buying a dedicated portable navigation device (PND) for your car. Navigation apps provide all the features of PNDs plus more, and at much lower prices (you can’t find a better price than “free”). Since apps integrate with the rest of your device, they can offer unique features that an isolated PND can’t match.

Geotagging photos on your iOS device or desktop computer

image

As has been mentioned some weeks ago, it's pretty easy to record GPS information and, later, incorporate it into photos taken on a non-GPS-enabled camera.

Unfortunately, the current camera lineup doesn't really please people that would like to geotag their shots. Neither the, because of the high price-value ratio or high image quality (IQ), most popular point-and-shoot (P&S) or DSLR (including mirrorless [aka EVIL] or some lower-end [Sony] SLT) cameras have built-in GPS modules.
