Abstract:
A method of associating location data with image recordings, comprising the steps of:(a)â€”using a camera to take a number of image recordings that are stored in a camera memory, and in association with taking each of at least some of said image recordings, using a mobile device that is substantially co-located with the camera and is operatively associated with a mobile radio infrastructure but not with the camera, to provide, or trigger the provision of, a location data item indicative of the location at which the image recording was taken, the location data items being passed independently of the image recordings to a store connected with the mobile radio infrastructure where they are held in a location log, (b)â€”subsequently transferring the image recordings from the camera memory to data-handling apparatus, separately transferring the location log from said store to the apparatus, and using the apparatus to unite for the first time each location data item in the downloaded log with the corresponding downloaded image recordings.
