Location-informed camera

A digital camera comprising:

• an image recording subsystem for making image recordings;
• a location-providing subsystem for providing location data items representative of a current location of the camera,
• a location-stamping subsystem for recording, in association with said image recordings, respective said location data items that each represent the location of the camera at the time the corresponding image recording was taken, and
• a location recording subsystem for recording, independently of the making of a said image recording, location data items in response to respective user triggerings, these location data items and those associated with the location-stamped image recordings being recorded in a sequential association with each other, and wherein the image recording subsystem and the location recording subsystem have a common user-operable control for triggering recording and a common sensor for determining whether there is an image to be recorded, the image recording subsystem being operative to record an image recording when said control is operated only if said sensor indicates that an image is present, and the location recording subsystem only recording a location data item when said control is operated, if said sensor indicates that an image is absent.
