All Digital Cameras with GPS

Global Positioning System in digital cameras will simplify personal media management and bring a new dimension to mapping services

The lowering cost and size of GPS systems and digital cameras will lead to include the former functionality in the later devices. When taking a picture, it will automatically include the exact time and place as part of the metadata. Once the user downloads her pictures to the PC, geo-positioning media management software will organize them by time and place. The user will have all her pictures organized in a map.

The sharing and posting of pictures with time and place stamp will greatly increase the attractiveness of photologs, pictures sites and mapping sites. It will allow to easily organize and find media particular to a location. ( Using commercial names, the user uploading her pictures to flickr will avoid having to specify place, and the user looking at pictures will easily locate them. When looking at Google Maps or Earth, on top of the satellite images, you will be able to see pictures taken there)

There're currently one or two cameras with integrated GPS. On 2007 a bunch more will come out. By 2008 most cameras sold will include it.
