Traveler tip
          99       Use your phone


                   As I prepared for my O.A.T. trip to Peru and Machu Picchu in
          fall 2016, I realized that the camera on my new cell phone was of better
          quality and pixel size than my not-that-old digital camera. My cell phone
          also allowed me to easily zoom in with a quick finger swipe. … I could also
          switch to video mode quickly if an action-filled activity suddenly came
          into view or I wanted to record some audio. By turning on the geographic
          tag feature of my phone, the location of my photos was automatically
          recorded along with the photo file; that helped me remember where all
          my photos had been taken when I got back home and started to create a
          photo album of my trip.
