Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for processing data by storing a first type of data in a first portion of a data structure in memory and storing a second type of data in a second portion separate from the first type of data. The second portion begins at a predetermined location relative to an end of the data structure. The first type of data may be multimedia data such as image or audio data. The second type of data may relate to a location at which the multimedia data is captured, such as GPS data, orientation data, or range data. An apparatus implements the method by capturing and storing the data according to the method. The apparatus may include a communications port, such as a wireless port, for transmitting the data to a central computer system, for example, from a remote location at which the data is gathered.
