Abstract
A system for organizing and retrieving digital photographs using global positioning system coordinates, comprising a digital camera 2 having a positioning system receiver for capturing a digital image, a first database 21 storing the digital image data along with positioning system coordinates of the location where the image was taken, a second database 22 for storing positioning system coordinate information and associated location names of a plurality of locations; and a processor 25 for determining the positioning system coordinates of the digital image stored in the first database 21, searching the second database 22 for matching positioning system coordinates, and if a match is found storing the location name with the digital image data in the first database 21.
