    I have a question … What does “Geotagging” actually mean? The term “geotagging” is sometimes also referred to as “geocoding”. Using “geotagging” e.g. photos, or videos, can be complemented with geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude, or physical address). This geographical identification data is saved together with the photos.
  • Page 42 Datalog GPS receivers Contrary to a “pure” GPS receiver the datalog GPS receivers store the received data to an internal memory. Being switched on, datalog GPS receivers start writing the position, date, and time into a log file. This logged data can be read and saved on e.g. a PC. So the data is also available for other applications like the locr PGS Photo software.
