Georeferencing is the process of mapping aerial images to geographic coordinates on the ground. Georeferenced images may be overlaid with other geographic information such as ranch maps, orthophoto base maps, sample locations or soil maps using a Geographic Information System (GIS). Georeferenced images may also be delivered in Google Earth format in which case they can be opened directly in Google Earth, which makes an impressive presentation tool. If you do not plan to use the images within a GIS or Google Earth, georeferencing is not necessary.
