Most of us know that some of the different model BBs have the ability to geotag pictures. I think its a cool feature but fail to see where people take advantage of this. I have seen picasa albums that show geotags on a map, but where is this really useful? Is there a way to really utilize this feature on my BB?
I just used geotagging this past weekend. My wife and I were out of state visiting friends. A buddy and I were out driving around and we came across a nice monument, so I took a picture. I showed it to my wife and as we were leaving the city she thought she would like to see it in person. Well I didn't really have any idea how to get to it, so I pulled out the blackberry, got to the picture of the monument and used the map it feature. Blackberry maps opened up and I just got directions to the site from our current location.

Thanks. I did not realize that you could "backtrack" using a picture that had the geotag in it. I'm not sure I would use it often but it appears to be a nifty feature.
