We know where you’re going

Do these geotechies never sleep? It seems a new geotagging application appears on the map almost daily. This weekend, it’s an open source application called JourneySat
You can use to record a trip in pictures and words and with a map so others can follow your progress.
After writing a diary note and adding the photos of the day, you can find out the exact geographical location of the places you’ve visited to let your friends see them from a satellite viewpoint, using the images provided by Google Maps
You can even specify the locations and they’ll be marked on the satellite view. Handy for travellers on gap years to keep friends and family back home up to date.
But tour operators should also consider including this in their social media offerings. Help prospective customers track existing happy campers along their route.
