One Step Closer ...

Yesterday I showed my support for the Howard County Autism Society by participating in their One Step Closer walk around Centennial Lake, in Columbia, Maryland. My daughters wanted to also partake but couldn't make it, so I took some photos of the educational signs along the footpath with my iPhone during the walk to show them. I emailed the photos to my Flickr page as I took them. Unfortunately, when I emailed them the geo-location information was not included or ignored by Flickr. However, when I upload them via my computer the geo-location information was included and automatically mapped by Flickr. This is the first time I experienced this technology, and I'm amazed at the accuarcy of the geo-coordinates, the photos on the Flickr map follow the footpath very well. Every camera should have a GPS!
