Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided for annotating digital images with information meaningful to a viewer. Data related to physical parameters associated with the digital image, such as, a geographic location (which may be a GPS latitude and longitude) and optionally, other parameters, are used to associate the image with information meaningful to a viewer. These parameters may be used in conjunction with a database that associates physical position information with such information.
