COLLECTING AND USING GPS DATA IN COMPUTER PROGRAMS

M. Domniţa

ABSTRACT
For most people, satellite navigation technology, and especially the GPS System is a technology used to see the current position on the Earth surface, to navigate with the help of a digital map or to find the way to an address with a car. Not many people know that GPS technology can be used for much more than that by creating special applications that use GPS data. This work presents an application that offers the possibility of combining geographic data collected from a GPS device with metadata from digital images , to find out where each image was taken. The application uses this data to upload the georeferenced images to an online image storage application, or see the images on a map or in a satellite Earth navigation application.
