iPOD to become a GPS iPhone?

Posted by Jill

Apple fanatics have fround references to GPS data in Apple’s iPhoto software - something which is set to be used with the iPhone. The code of the software apparently references GoogleMaps hinting that iPhoto will soon enable photos to be tagged with location data (much like Navman’s Navpix).

Apple fansites have suggested that the iPhone will have a camera and mega storage capacity. Considering Nokia’s new N95 it’s not unthinkable that the phone might inlcude GPS and be able to sync any data gathered across iTunes and iPhoto whenever you dock it.

If not for leisure use, the phone could have GPS as a means of tracking, allowing the device to send out a distress signal with its location if it has been stolen. This is all rumours for now - but if I get anything more solid I’ll let you know.
