First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request for a geotag from a requestor, the geotag comprising situational information and geographic coordinates, the request comprising geospatial data that identifies a location of the requestor, the geospatial data comprising;
position data comprising one or more of latitude data, longitude data, and elevation data; and
viewing angle data comprising one or more of azimuth data, compass direction data, and orientation data;
comparing the geographic coordinates of a candidate geotag to the location received in the request; and
sending the candidate geotag to the requester if the candidate geotag is near the location received in the request.

Abstract
In accordance with a particular embodiment of the invention, a request for a geotag comprising situational information and geographic coordinates may be received from a requestor. The request may include geospatial data, such as position data and viewing angle data, that identifies a location of the requester. The position data may be latitude data, longitude data, and/or elevation data, and the viewing angle data may be azimuth data, compass direction data, and/or orientation data. The geographic coordinates of a candidate geotag may be compared to the location received in the request. If the candidate geotag is near the location received in the request, it may be sent to the requester.
