Google Earth is a free program for Linux Macintosh or Windows which displays satellite photos, road maps, and other forms of geospatial information. If you can find a location, landmark, landform, stationary object, etc., on a satellite photo or road map, you can easily get its coordinates from Google Earth.
Two main options can be used to geotag photos: capturing GPS information at the time the photo is taken or "attaching" geocoordinates to the photograph after the picture is taken.

Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth, Copernix.io and Wikimedia's map ...
Create a database of points, enabling generation of navigatable maps with a clickable icon appearing for every location for which there is a Wikipedia article. This has been implemented for NASA World Wind, Google Earth (see below) and Google maps (see below). Serve as a tool for finding Wikipedia articles describing nearby locations.

If there's a way to sync up, please let me know.
The beginning point, entered via GPS coordinates, and the ending point, (address or coordinates) input by the user, are then entered into the digital mapping software. The mapping software outputs a real-time visual representation of the route. The map then moves along the path of the driver. If the driver drifts from the designated route, the ...
Google Maps' location tracking is regarded by some as a threat to users' privacy, with Dylan Tweney of VentureBeat writing in August 2014 that "Google is probably logging your location, step by step, via Google Maps", and linked users to Google's location history map, which "lets you see the path you've traced for any given day that your ...
