Fix photos, audio, drawings, and more, to a geographic point.

RoboGeo creates a product to “geo-reference” (latitude, longitude, altitude) and “date/time-stamp” your photos, allowing you to retrace your steps, and export them onto Google Map or onto Google Earth. RoboGEO does this without requiring a wire connection between your camera and your GPS. The new version 4.2 does more. You can now associate any file with the photos you took, such as audio and drawings, and GPS tracklogs. Imagine touring southern France meeting and recording conversations with people or local music, taking photos and creating some watercolour sketches. You can now assemble a geographic travelogue of your trip, display tour guide routes on your website, or simply share photos with others.

Roger A. Brooks‘ Rule 6 “The Rule of Wayfinding” theorizes that ‘Real men don’t ask for directions.’ The journeys our early explorers took were difficult undertakings. These days, says Brooks, (most) tourists are not looking for that type of challenge.
