Idea #3 - I want a tool that let's me take pictures and geotag them. From now on if anyone else takes a similar picture they'd be able to get a map to/from the location.
similar how? Same shapes and colors? What if I took a picture of a KFC? How would you know which one I was at? - Jesse Hattabaugh
I'd start with similar long and lat. Doesn't AirMe already do this? - tagami
Right, it would require a GPS enabled device. Think of it like a "Make your own Google Streetview." - Steve Spalding
something like this? http://www.eye.fi/product... - Tim Hoeck
I want geotagging and a map view in Photosynth - Nathan Howell
@Tim and @Sprague Both do the first part, geotagging but the second part letting you quickly "find" the person the person taking the picture is missing. - Steve Spalding
I believe the EyeFi only geotags during the upload phase. So if you shot it one place and then upload another, it will be incorrect. The iPhone 3G will geotag photos at the moment they're shot (even if you're indoors it will use the cell tower based approximation). There's at least one iPhone app that I know of that will search for "photos near me". - Paul Reynolds
Yea, I don't think it would be too much of a stretch for an iPhone 3G. In fact, I bet parts of an application like this are floating around in the Apple Store as we speak. - Steve Spalding
