Geotagging is the act of including geographical information about where a photo was taken in with the digital photo file. Geotagging is extremely helpful to anyone who takes a large number of pictures and needs a way to record exactly where each photo was taken.

This training offered the very basics for a half day course to briefly present the geotagging. There were lectures and hands on activity for the course. This was conducted online last February 18, 2022.

General Objectives of the Course 

1. To capacitate relevant staff on GPS-based data  acquisition that may be vital for processing of  desired project outputs.

2. To organize and harmonize geotagging  initiatives for a standardized spatial data  processing, sharing and dissemination.

3.  To assist in organizing and management of geotagged datasets.
