According to flickr about 5 percent of all pictures on the web are geotagged. I personally belief this estimation is too high. I think maybe 5 % of all flickr pictures are geotagged, because they provide a relatively convientent way to geotag uploaded pictures, but the techniques to geotag photos is still too complicated.
Normally it should be possilbe to integrate a GPS chip to reach digital camera, the prices for GPS chips are not high any more. For each picture taken metainformation about the location should be stored.
Some interesting and open points to this topic are:
- Indoor photographs: How should locational information be gathered for photos taken in buildings.
- Privacy: What is about locational pricacy?
