In fact the use of digital camera in conjunction with GPS data collection is very common. However the process of associating pictures with other attribute data in GIS has been very cumbersome. With the introduction of digital camera with integrated GPS , compass module and associated software, the process of combining photographs with GPS and attribute data in GIS has become very easy.
