Thin Clients Live! / Geotagging Images

We had a great time showing off our thin clients to the Education sector. I was excited to see the educators show a real interest in the product the Sys team worked so hard on; from lab to real--world. We're scheduled to give live demonstrations in the coming weeks!

Just for fun (it's Friday afternoon) here's an image depicting some usefull information derived from your digital camera, your GPS, and a handy script:

 

Geotagged image markers

 

The image above depicts exactly where you took each image with your digital camera. My script reads through each of the image timestams, organizes them, and calls another script that goes out to a GIS server (USGS in this case) and automatically pulls down the image's GIS coordinates. The script then labels each image (represented as a number) to coincide with where the photo was taken.
