dann95 Worth noting that you have to remember, on the N95, to open the keypad slide. This isn't normal for taking photos, but will help the speed of GPS fix a lot etc.

Aha. Learn new things on here every day! Thank you.

And cheers for explaining that Tommi. Guess ol' v12 will have to be upgraded to v20 sooner than I thought then!
/starts working out exactly what he's going to lose from going from Three to Unbranded...

Locr (www.locr.com) geo-tags pictures automatically (asks if it geo-tags that picture with the latest position) if it is running in the background!

A bit. If you have the latest firmware (and AGPS), getting a GPS fix takes only a couple of seconds.

And about battery, Antony explains:

"Nokia Location Tagger has an automatic turn-off feature. If you don’t use Camera application for a while, it will turn off your GPS module automatically. You can set the duration for the timeout from the Settings menu (2 mins, 5 mins or 10 mins).

Let’s say, you choose 5 minutes (the default one). This means if you don’t activate Camera application within 5 minutes, GPS module will be turned off. Next time, you activate Camera application, it will be turned on. Then, the timer will start again for 5 minutes."

dann95 Nice idea, like Gypsii, but pretty impractical.

From switching it on, GPS takes forever to lock on my N95 and leaving it on the whole time would be a bit of a battery buster, no? Or am I being too pessimistic?

Not working??

When i double click the sisx file, and say 'yes' to question about installing, it copies to the phone ok, then the phone shows 'File Corrupted', and won't continue the install, anyone else getting this problem? I have installed all other apps using the nokia software installer, and have never had a problem. I'm running on a standard n95, 20.0.0.15 firmware, vista is the desktop o/s, although i don't think the desktop o/s has anything to do with it, given this has method worked for every other app.
Edit: I've also tried re-downloading the file to different location and installing again, didn't work.

Unregistered you can also embed your geotagged photos on a map to your blog for a cooler effect. http://thenokiablog.com/2008/01/26/h...for-your-blog/
