OurDoings already auto-organizes by date, but don't expect an animated car moving along a map any time soon. The first GPS-related feature I'm likely to implement will be a privacy option that removes GPS info if the coordinates fall within a certain range (presumably near your house.)

Scott Stanfield talked about this on .NET Rocks (http://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showNum=348) and said that GPS readings aren't precise enough to worry about such fine-grained location. All of the pictures at home would show up as a cloud 100m in diameter centered on your house, not at their actual precise location.

That whole podcast is a good discussion about the intersection of software, tech, and photography.

Most people who would worry about the privacy of their home's location would worry about a 100m diameter approximation of their home's location.

Oh, duh. That makes much more sense now. :)

Good idea to include that!
