When Date and time photo was taken Stored in EXIF

QUERIES?

DMR SMCRA permit number where EVERY photo is taken.

OOG API number nearest photo

DWW WAP number

EXAMPLES:Find all the photos taken on SMCRA permit number XXXXXXX

Find photos take within 5 miles of API number YYYYYYYY

CURRENT DESIGN

Upload multiple photos straight from camera at the same time

Automatically strip out EXIF header info

Get coordinates

Get compass data for photo orientation

Get GPS fix quality data PDOP

Create an ArcSDE point layer on-the-fly

Allow user to select keywords to merge with point data attributes and write to the application’s Oracle tables
