Image via WikipediaGoogle's picasaweb provides support to add location information for the map. I am too lazy to add location information for all images. I used to give location information for the album level. When I came across this Location Tagger, I was amazed.Today I downloaded it from Nokia's betalab website and installed it on my mobile. It requires the GPS support either from internal GPS module or through the bluetooth GPS receiver. GPS is not working in my N95 mobile. So, I've tried this with the bluetooth GPS receiver. I have to spend some time and see why internal GPS receiver is not working in my mobile. :(
I tried this from my home terrace. It did a good job by adding the tag in the EXIF file format (header?). N95 supports seeing the image on the map also.
After this, I've just uploaded this in picasaweb. It could recognize the header and display the location information correctly.
It seems like EXIF uses the existing image format JPEG, TIFF etc. An image has information about the camera, time, location etc. What next? Is it possible to add other environment like fragrance/smell? That would be helpful for the next generation entertainment (either image or video). How?? There may be some players in future which can understand this fragrance details from the header, and give the same fragrance when some one watches the media.
