nok Nokia Location Tagger Nokia Location Tagger is yet another awsome free application from Nokia Beta Labs. This application allows users to automatically tag their location data to their pictures. This basically works like this:

The user snaps a picture
The location data is automatically saved to the EXIF header of the JPEG file.
The location data can be used in other applications, such as google maps to visually display where the picture was shoot.

In the near future, we hope to make location tagging a seamlessly integrated part of your Nokia experience. Until then, Nokia Location Tagger is a small standalone application that gives you a sneak preview. We are not planning to productize this application as such, but we’d love to hear your thoughts already now, so that we have time to take it into account in the mainstream development.

Launch Nokia Location Tagger application.
On the main screen, you will see the status of your GPS module. It will show the coordinate if GPS module is active. Otherwise, it will show “Searching”.
To tag pictures with GPS coordinates, simply use the built-in Camera application. Press the Camera button of your device to take pictures as usual. When Nokia Location Tagger is running in the background, you will see small icon at the top left corner of Camera’s view finder. This indicates the status of GPS module:
Green: GPS module is active.

Amber: Nokia Location Tagger is connecting to GPS module or searching for GPS coordinate.

Red: GPS module is inactive.
