1. A method for annotating a recording with a current location comprising:
- monitoring, while traveling, for different types of signal sources that may be used to facilitate determining a current location;
identifying a first signal source at a first time;
determining a current location based at least in part on the first signal source;
making a recording; and
associating the current location with the recordin

Abstract
Tracking and multiple signal sources, such as cellular phone towers, 802.11 hotspots, Radio Data System (RDS) transmitters, or the like, and using one or more of these sources to determine a current position that can be associated with a recording, such as a digital camera photo or other digital recording, conventional camera photo, or other recording.

17. A method for determining a current location that may be associated with a recording, comprising:
-
requesting an estimate of a current location from a server configured to estimate locations based on position data collected from different types of signal sources; and
receiving a response from the server comprising at least one estimated current location and a margin of error based on the types of signal sources utilized to determine the at least one estimated current location. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
