Just a test, originally uploaded by nathanleefloats.
All will become clear. 
that’s where my engine should go by the way.
Edit: I added this bit after the test.
So what was this about then? Well, I’m being a bit technical, but I’m trying to take advantage of ‘geotagging’. When you take a picture on a GPS enabled camera (a modern mobile phone for example) it can record the GPS location. In all digital photographs there is hidden data contained in the file, this is known as exif data. The lat and long are included within that data, and so it’s possible to extract that and in theory automatically include a map of the location it was taken. Obviously this test seems to have failed, but that’s ok because I now know why.
Don’t worry, I’m not going to be turning this into a technical blog, I just thought I’d explain it for you.
OK, so heard of geotagging, even if I haven’t got a GPS enabled camera.

But why did the test not work?
Duff bit of PHP perhaps?
Perish the thought.

Nah, it was because I posted the pic via flickr, and the plugin I was using for the geotagging couldn’t read it. I’ll either hack the plugin, or change it so I post directly to this site rather than via flickr.
Wasn’t aware that was possible for phone cameras – a handy way of getting lat/long values for a GPX file though!
