Over at Geeks and Gurus, Steve Bodnar has been blogging about Fox Forward. If you haven’t seen his blog, take a look for some more insight into Fox Forward.

I loved Steve’s session on MapPoint. MapPoint integration might be my first session-to-realworld application: If not for production, for curiosity. (A Fox Trails experiment might be second.) Most of my VFP experience has been with municipal data (parcels, properties, buildings, addresses, etc) and MapPoint offers some interesting possibilities.

Bo showed us how we might embed our own custom EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata into JPEG files using GDIPlusX. I’d like to experiment using a JPEG of a house as a portable data file, storing the house’s address as EXIF metadata and then using MapPoint to show me where it is on a map.

I’ll keep you all posted with my progress!
