 <whoosh!>
  If you're in your car****t and take a picture of an object half a
mile away (with a GPS enabled camera), does the "00" refer to the
position of the camera or the position of the object?  Now if you're
using a camera that records the direction that the camera was
pointing, and that can also record the subject's distance in the
EXIF data, I suppose that the subject/object location can be
determined with a trig. calculator.  Not with a great deal of
accuracy, but to a better resolution than half a mile.
