NEW Add a photo of the situation A geotagged photo helps us to process your report and update our map.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I work for a pretty cool company. We make maps for ourselves and a lot of very cool companies. When a customer tells us there\u2019s a change in the map that we should take note of, that\u2019s really valuable and customers can do it on smartphones, personal navigation devices and through our website<\/a>. The thing is, when we receive a notice from a customer, the report has to be verified with a trusted source. We work with towns, cities, states, buy data and sometimes, we send out a car to survey the area (pictured below) so we make absolutely sure that the map edit we make is accurate.<\/p>\n

Over the last 5 years, many of our customers have a smartphone with a camera along with A-GPS<\/a> that captures a location on a map (Lat, Long<\/a>). Mobile photos with geo-tagged EXIF data are a very easy way for a customer to snap a photo of the real-world map changes they are reporting and we can place that photo on a map using the EXIF data to be sure where they say there is a change, the photo proves that\u2019s where they were when taking it.<\/p>\n

We still have to verify map changes but geo-tagged images are a great second source verifying a reporter\u2019s text based feedback. Great work to the Map Share Reporter team on adding this. I\u2019ve been using it all day and it works incredibly well.<\/p>\n
