Looking back on Italy

The following posts are a digital diary of the month I spent in Italy. I generated the map in iPhoto to keep track of where I went. The points show the places in Italy where I left my Nikon Coolpix P6000 camera on long enough that it had a chance to acquire a GPS signal and record the lat/long of the pictures I was taking. There are many more points in between those shown on this map, but I could only display them if I zoomed in. Examples of zooming in are shown on the previous post This GPS data, tho' incomplete, sure helped me label my photos!

The GPS tagging is a pretty cool feature of my point-and-shoot Nikon. Once I download the pictures to iPhoto, the place where each picture was taken shows as a pin on a map. I can zoom in on some of these points to identify the exact street or place where I was standing when I took the pic (the accuracy probably depends on the level of detail for google maps for that area - - high for cities, lower in the sticks). I've attached closeups of the photo-taking points for Assisi, Siena, Volterra, and Cinque Terre by boat as examples.
