iPhoto '09內藏與iPhone/iPod Touch同步GPS軌跡資訊功能？

iPhone to Add Location Logging?

from TidBITS

不知道是怎樣，TidBITS在iPhoto '09中挖到了一個未被使用的面板，內容文字如下…

Activate the location application on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Once selected, any available location information will be transferred to your iPhoto library and associated with the photos in the selected event(s).

看起來是將iPhone/iPod Touch所紀錄的GPS軌跡資訊與iPhoto內的照片同步的功能…因該啦…。另外在iPhoto binary中還有以下這段文字…

Select an iPhone or iPod Touch from your list of named devices. Once selected, the appropriate information will be transferred to your iPhoto library and associated with the photos in the selected event(s).

看起來Apple似乎有打算把iPhone/iPod Touch當作GPS軌跡紀錄器使用，畢竟現在搭載GPS的相機少之又少，而且這也能當作iPhone/iPod Touch的賣點之一。



不過目前iPhone/iPod Touch並不支援背景執行程式，就算Apple在背景跑程式來紀錄GPS軌跡，所消耗的效能與電力因該也是非常的驚人…也許這是要等到下一代（或是下下代？）iPhone，效能與電池時間足以負擔時才會打開這項功能吧？
