Abstract

A location tagged data provision and display system. A personal communication device (PCD) with electromagnetic communication capability has a GPS receiver and a display. The PCD requests maps and location tagged data from data providers and other for display on the PCD. The data providers respond to requests by using searching and sorting schemes to interrogate data bases and then automatically transmitting data responsive to the requests to the requesting PCD.

Claims

1. A digital camera with GPS stamp comprising:

a housing containing an imaging device configured to form an image;

a GPS receiver for determining a position of the digital camera;

an interface configured to receive a user comment concerning the image formed by the imaging device, the interface further configured to receive a user authorization input identifying specific individuals that are authorized to received information concerning the user;

a memory coupled to the imaging device and the GPS receiver, the memory storing the image formed by the imaging device linked with the position of the digital camera at the time the image was formed and the user comment, and storing the user authorization input; and

a transceiver configured to wirelessly transmit the user authorization and the image linked with the position of the digital camera at the time the image was formed and the user comment to a central computing system.
