Geo-tagging Pictures

The new smart phones can use the GPS feature to tag the exact longitude and latitude of where a picture was taken.  Can you imagine how valuable that information would be for a future genealogist.  It would make it possible to determine if that mountain backdrop was the Grand Tetons or the Occhr Mountains. 
 
Geo-tagging pictures will give hints into how we lived as well as our lives for our descendants.  I know the technology today will make it easier on future generations but only if we use it in our research!
