Maybe it should have been "pushpin accuracy" :)]]>Jan 12th 2010 10:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/12/casio-ex-10hg-hybrid-gps-prototype-taps-into-accelerometers-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/12/casio-ex-10hg-hybrid-gps-prototype-taps-into-accelerometers-fo/Jan 12th 2010 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/12/casio-ex-10hg-hybrid-gps-prototype-taps-into-accelerometers-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/12/casio-ex-10hg-hybrid-gps-prototype-taps-into-accelerometers-fo/
* Routers don't need to be special, to support our method of geotagging. Even if the router is secure, hidden, etc..., the Eye-Fi Card will see it. Then, our server will contact SkyhookWireless to see if the router has been mapped by their cars/trucks. If yes -- we'll geotag. You can be pretty far away from routers, and not connected to any of them at all, and yet the Eye-Fi Card will pick up the beacons, and will geotag.

* Most photos are taken indoor (80%, I believe). So although I appreciate that most of your photos are taken outdoor, I just wanted to comment on the fact that most photos are actually taken around the home, around town, and in the home. There, our approach of geo will work.

* agreed that the best combo is if the camera has built-in GPS, which works outdoor, and geooocation through SkyhookWireless & Eye-Fi, which works indoor.

Tacking this onto where your last-known-good coordinates were, a guess can be made of about where you are.

The classic example is driving through a tunnel. You lose signal, but the accelerometers can tell if you're maintaining speed or changing speed and make a very good guess about how far you've progressed.]]>Jan 12th 2010 5:28PM
