Shozu is doing a great job of Tagging and Uploading of the camera phone captures on my Nokia N72.
I was looking at the advantages of Automatically Geotagging the camera phone pictures.
If you automatically tag – preferably add to the picture’s EXIF data – the location coordinates (collected through – say , an external Bluetooth GPS), you can create a time+space tile view of the pictures captured by you. You could as well have moments freezed in time at a specific location from different personal perspectives ( by other cameraphone users) of a specific topic ( like a picnic spot ). The possibilities are limitless and inspiring!
Think of Geotagging your/others camera phone videos, and a space+time tiling application – directing a special movie accordingly. It would be awesome to see! :)
Since Shozu does not support GeoTagging yet – I was looking out for such applications. Few of which I found are :-
These are either research/opensource projects and are lacking the sophistication of Shozu. It would be great if Shozu at least can GeoTag based on CellID ( If not an External GPS).
[update]
Nokia has released Location Tagger – which works well on Series 60v3 Symbian devices.

Speaking about “geotaggingâ€: do you know locr?
locr offers the ideal solution and makes geotagging exceptionally easy. locr uses GoogleMaps with detailed maps and high-resolution satellite images. To geotag your photos just enter address, let locr search, fine-tune the marker, accept position, and done! If you don’t know the exact address simply use drag&drop to set the position.
For automatic geotagging you need a datalog GPS receiver in additon to your digital camera. The GPS receiver data and the digital camera data is then automatically linked together by the locr software. All information will be written into the EXIF header.
With locr you can upload photos with GPS information in them without any further settings. In the standard view, locr shows the photo itself, plus the place it was taken. If you want to know more about the place where the photo was taken, just have at look at the Wikipedia articles which are also automatically assigned to the picture.
Have a look at http://www.locr.com.
Yes. I have been to locr.com . Indeed its a nice platform – esp. the widget support. Some of the GeoTaggable Mashups I found are http://www.zooomr.com, http://www.flickrmap.com etc.
In the post you can see the Geotagging applications available on the Symbian and Windows Mobile Platforms.
