Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”), which goes on sale Friday, adds geotagging support, Stephen Shankland notes in a CNET blog. Geotagging enables people to organize photos by where they were taken, not just when.
It requires a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and either software that adds GPS data to photo files or an expensive camera that communicates directly with the GPS device. Shankland says the Leopard’s Preview software, which lets users get details on files they’re browsing, “pinpoints the location where you took the photo on a world map,” according to Apple’s Leopard feature list. From there you can even open the GPS location in Google Maps, he notes.
Submissions are being taken for the “Macsimum Macworld San Francisco 2008 Coupon Book.” For details email Dennis at daseller@earthlink.net
