MyGuide m.icatcher GPS Camera
The new m.icatcher is a new point-and-shot camera from MyGuide that comes with the advent of GPS photography, also known as geo-tagging, let’s the camera can also record the picture’s geographic location. In theory, to match the photos with their locations, both the pictures and the GPS data are uploaded (usually via USB cable) to a computer. With specialized software (e.g. mapping software like Google Earth), the computer compares the time stamp of the photo to the time stamp from the data on the receiver to attach location information to each photograph. And this process called Geotagging a.k.a Geocoding and refers to adding geographical information such as latitude, longitude, altitude, and place names to various forms of media. Depending on the mapping software and the type of receiver, the photos can be labeled and organized according to their location.
