What is Geotag?

GeoTagging, sometimes referred to as Geocoding, is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as websites, RSS feeds, or images. This data usually consists of latitude and longitude coordinates, though it can also include altitude and place names.

Geocoding also refers to the process of taking non-coordinate based geographical identifiers, such as a postal address, and converting them into geographic coordinates.

Also

GeoTagging can help users find a wide variety of location-specific information. For instance, one can find images taken near a given location by entering a latitude and longtitude into a GeoTagging-enabled image search engine. GeoTagging-enabled information services can also potentially be used to find news, websites, or other resources.

Why Geotag?

Where Geotag?

geotagged geo:lat=latitude e.g. geo:lat=51.4989 geo:lon=longitude e.g. geo:lon=-0.1786

where latitude and longitude are the geographic coordinates of a particular location. These are expressed in decimal degrees in the WGS84 coordinate system, which has become something of a default coordinate system with the advent of GPS.

At Taiwan, we can use TWD 97
