Tag Photos Using GPS Tracking Devices

Many people like adding geographical information to their photos. This includes, precise coordinates including the latitude and longitude of the tagged location (saved as the EXIF data). Several camera manufacturers have started concentrating on providing GPS support. If your camera does not support it or have a bunch of old photos lying around which you would like to manually geotag, then you have come to the right place. GeoTagImages is a portable application which allows you to quickly and easily add GPS tags to multiple pictures using a connected GPS tracking device.

As of now,  GeoTagImages only supports WINTEC WBT202 and GARMIN GPX devices. We hope that developer will add support for additional devices soon. All you need to do is drag & drop an image folder to GeoTagImages shortcut to tag it. GeoTagImages reads all JPEG image properties of the specified folder and automatically downloads the current GPS data. To geotag your images, either drag the image folder over the Geo TagImages shortcut or select folder by clicking select folder icon in toolbar.

You will receive a prompt to specify a GPS data folder. Once a local GPS data folder has been specified, GPS data from WINTEC WBT202 or GARMIN GPX devices will be downloaded (provided the program is running and the GPS device is plugged in). If camera and GPS items are synchronized, the GPS coordinates  may easily be added to image(s) by clicking the second menu button from the left. For some general guidelines and feature overview, you can also check out the developer’s provided wiki for this application.

GeoTagImages is an open source application which works on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, provided you have .Net Framework 4 installed.

YouTube Android App Updated

For Android users who wanted to gain better control over their uploaded videos on YouTube, here’s good news. The official YouTube app for Android has recently been updated (to v 2.2.14) and now not only allows users to set privacy controls over their uploaded videos but also lets them edit titles, descriptions and tags of previously uploaded videos. Apart from this, updated YouTube app also sports fresh video uploading user interface and lets you create, edit and delete video playlists from within the app. Moreover, there have been other minor bug fixes and performance improvements from the previous version


While previous version of YouTube allowed users to just delete videos from their video uploads list, the updated version lets them edit the title, description and tags to these videos and define new privacy settings. Said video editing and privacy features have been added to the video upload menu as well for user convenience. Another welcome addition is the “Add Playlist” button in the playlist menu which was badly missed in previous versions. With this option, users can easily add new playlists and tweak privacy option for each. The updated YouTube app also supports video playback even if your device is on standby. This means that you can now listen to your favorite music on the go rather than having to forcefully watch the video.
So head over to the Android Market to update the YouTube app on your device and enjoy the recently added video uploading and playlist editing features. You can download YouTube (v 2.2.14) from the Market link or QR code provided below.

Keep Your iPhone Or iPad Awake For As Long As You Want

Don’t you just hate it when in the middle of watching a video or playing a gyro-based game on your device, the screen turns itself off and goes to sleep? When you are wide awake and having fun, your screen should cooperate, right? Life would have been much easier if you could have given your iOS device some caffeine to get rid of its sleepiness. Well, turns out you can!

Caffeine is a tweak available at the Cydia store for jailbroken users. It basically allows you to decide for how long you want your phone or tablet to remain unlocked. Head over to the Cydia store and search for Caffeine. After installing this free app, go to your device’s settings. Under the “Activator” tab set any key you want to be associated with the toggle of Caffeine.
Once the Toggle shortcut is set, you simply have to press it to display the notification that caffeine is on. Until you tap the activation key again, your phone won’t lock. It will dim out though.
