Geotagging isn’t anything really new, been around a couple of years. There are some different tools that will help you to download a track from your GPS unit and synchronize it with the timestamp from images to set positioning data in the image. Then you can place those on Google Earth or on the Flickr Map.
But what I have not been able to find is a free piece of software that will use a GPS connected to a mobile phone and generate a track to synchronize with images. So I wrote one. Now I’m looking for people who would like to give it a test to find bugs etc. The software is yet quite simple, it scans for bluetooth devices and you can select the one to connect to. Then will it start to read positioning data from it and when it gets a good position it is stored in a GPX file on your phone.
I uploaded an example from earlier today onto Flickr.
Some advices and whats needed:
Make sure flickr use your GeoTags.(via)
You need Microsoft LocationStamper, download here.
You need a mobile phone with Java and also JSR-82 and JSR-75, like SonyEricsson K750 or K800.
And you need a bluetooth GPS, I use Holux GPSlim236. Nav4All sells them quite cheap, 70â¬.
