In this way, the user may readily determine the location of associated photographs taken digitally and may recreate excursions using a multimedia approach. Using mapping software, the digital images may be associated with map locations as well, so that the user may select given map locations to view associated video. By making the device of a portable size, the user may take the device on excursions and may receive information about various points which are associated on a digital map including both audio and video. At the same time, the user can create multimedia presentations about a variety of locations as the user goes from point to point. | |
