With smartphones coming out left, right and centre with high-capability cameras and some, like the Nokia N8 better than some of the digital cameras knocking around, Geo-tagging/augmented reality etc seems to have a strong future. There's only so many drunken party photos and hilarious photo editing to be done. With the camera being such an important feature on a phone these days, it's going to be used for me and more.
TomTom’s got a neat little idea. They've updated their iPhone app and thus it will now let you navigate to the location of geo-tagged photos.
With version 1.5 of the app, tap on a geo-tagged photo and TomTom will immediately route you to where the photo was taken. It is available on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 3.0 or higher.
“You no longer need to enter an address to get going. What you see is where you’ll go,” TomTom said.
The company has also optimized its app for the iPhone 4, adding high-resolution graphics and sharper maps. Menus are more responsive and positioning is more accurate. Plus more maps including1 million more U.S. roads than its competitors is in the pipeline.
Now if that's not the future I don't know what is.
