How to efficiently track my geolocation during traveling using iPhone
- by Peter Kruithof
I'm going to travel through Thailand and I want to keep track of my location to geotag photos afterwards taken with a digital camera (iPhone's camera is not good enough). There are two things that are important here:
I don't want to update manually
I want the battery to last as long as possible, since the times I will be able to charge will be scarce
I've thought about creating a web page that periodically sends my geolocation to a script that stores it in a database, but I don't know if GPS data is available in Mobile Safari. Second, I want the data I send to be as small as possible, and the frequency this is done s few as possible, because of the pricing of mobile data usage abroad.
Any suggestions what would be a good solution here?
