Geotagging Location Data

A roadside assistance computing platform, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a network interface;
• and
• at least one memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the roadside assistance computing platform to:
• receive, from a mobile device, at least one image of a portion of a vehicle for which roadside assistance is being requested, the at least a first image including geotag location data embedded in metadata associated with the at least one image;
• analyze the received at least one image and embedded geotag location data to determine a location of the vehicle for which roadside assistance is being requested and a roadside assistance issue for which roadside assistance is being requested from the received at least one image and embedded geotag location data;
• identify a service to provide to the vehicle based on the determined location and roadside assistance issue;
• identify a first roadside assistance provider available to provide the identified service to the vehicle for which roadside assistance is being requested;
• and
• transmit, to a computing device of the first roadside assistance provider, a request for roadside assistance including the identified service.

A method, comprising:

• capturing, by a mobile device, at least one image of a vehicle for which roadside assistance is being requested;
• embedding, by the mobile device, geotag location data in metadata associated with the captured at least one image;
• transmitting, from the mobile device to a roadside assistance server, the captured at least one image and the embedded geotag location data;
• receiving, by the roadside assistance server and from the mobile device, the captured at least one image and embedded geotag location data;
• analyzing, by the roadside assistance server, the received at least one image and embedded geotag location data to determine a location of the vehicle for which roadside assistance is being requested and a roadside assistance issue for which roadside assistance is being requested from the captured at least one image and embedded geotag location data;
• identifying, by the roadside assistance server, a service to provide to the vehicle based on the determined location and roadside assistance issue;
• identifying, by the roadside assistance server, a first roadside assistance provider available to provide the identified service to the vehicle for which roadside assistance is being requested;
• and
• transmitting, from the roadside assistance server and to a computing device of the first roadside assistance provider, a request for roadside assistance including the identified service.
