Better Geotagging<br />

<strong>iPhone</strong> geotagging is wicked cool, but it’s not without its glitches. First, when<br />

you email a photo from the <strong>iPhone</strong>, all EXIF data (invisible time, date, and<br />

camera-setting details) are stripped away—including geotagging information.<br />

Those coordinates are preserved only when you sync your photos with<br />

iTunes.<br />

Furthermore, there are some glitches in the way the <strong>iPhone</strong> stores geotagging<br />

information, which can confuse programs like Flickr.<br />

You can resolve both problems by using programs from the App Store<br />

(Chapter 11) instead of the <strong>iPhone</strong>’s built-in Camera program.<br />

SmugShot, for example, correctly geotags your photos and sends that data<br />

(along with the photo) directly to SmugMug.<strong>com</strong> (membership required),<br />

which can show you the photo’s location using Google Maps online.<br />
