Last Update of Nokia Location Tagger
Guest blogger: Antony Pranata, Nokia Location Tagger team.
I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is Location Tagger has just been updated. The bad news is this version will be the last update on Beta Labs. Instead, location tagging will be integrated into selected future Nokia devices.
What’s new in this release?
- Persistent log. Now when you exit the application, your list of images in your logs tab will not disappear. When you delete an image from the Gallery of File Manager, the item will also be removed from the logs tag.
- File renaming. There is additional option in the Settings menu to rename tagged file. The file name will be added _NLT as suffix. For example, if the original file name is image001.jpg, it will be renamed to image001_NLT.jpg. This feature will allow you to easily differentiate between tagged and non-tagged files.
- Get location from cache. As you may know from our last posting that Location Tagger tags pictures with the last known position in the last 1 hour. If there is no last known position, it will put pictures in the queue until time-out. We added a new feature that allows you to get location from GPS device’s cache.
- Optimization and some bug fixes. This new version should run relatively faster than the previous one.
Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for sending in their feedback about Nokia Location Tagger. It has been great reading through all comments and suggestions for improvement. And although we have not yet been able to fulfil every wish, we sure feel we have improved Nokia Location Tagger with your help since its initial beta release.

Editor’s note: we will keep Nokia Location Tagger in active Beta Labs application list for two weeks, after which we will move it to the archive (or should we call this a graduate?). You can continue using it, but no need to send us feedback anymore. As Antony mentioned, the productized version keeps evolving as integrated part of Nokia devices, not as a standalone application. Thanks everyone for your contribution!!

So can we expect it to be integrated into the N95 firmware in the future?

We are not allowed to comment anything about future Nokia roadmap, if it hasn’t been announched somewhere. Sorry. (While I understand the policy, I hate this…)

I’ve been using this for a while now, and it’s a great little app. I look forward to it being included in the firmware update for the N95-3! *wink wink wink wink*

I really love this little app, shame it won’t be updated anymore but then as a ‘beta’ app is was pretty solid as it was.
That said I look forward to seeing a geotag feature being shipped with the OS - saves having another background app constantly running!
(I always have Mobbler running too… Last.fm scrobbling)

I’d like to see integration of camera functionality with Nokia Maps - some examples:
1) To see the photos on your mobile displayed on your Maps client (similar to Google Maps / Google Earth)
2) To be able to use the Maps software to geotag a given photo (when GPS is unavailable, or days after you took the photo) - this should be possible both from within Maps and from within the media gallery (which will then fire up Maps to set the location of the photo).
3) Rather than locking on to GPS again when taking a photo, it should use GPS info from Nokia Maps if it’s already open and connected.
Any plans to implement any of this? And if not, why not?

I am saving photos in microSD. If I remove it the log disappear…
Just some more thoughts:
Is there a way to bring it back again?
Is there a way to geotag any photo (perhaps by pointing location in a map)?
Is there a way of locating any geotaggeg photo in a map?

Maps2.0 can do a rough position estimate on celltower identification besides GPS info. Locationtagger seems only to use GPS info. Why not use both in location tagger too?

For some reason Beta3 keeps crashing/exiting on my N95-3 (with the previous firmware and the newest released one). I have it set to start upon boot, it keeps running in the background, but the first time I start the camera, the location tagger ends. I exit the camera, start location tagger again, start up the camera a 2nd time, and the tagger happily runs with it’s nice icon in the corner.
Beta2 worked fine, this only started happening with Beta3. Am I alone with this problem?

Hi there! Love this app.
Found a bug though… it works well on my home network (t-mobile uk) when I am in the UK, but found that when I was in Spain every photo I took crashed the Location Tagger app. Sort of defeats the purpose as it is when I am traveling that I want to record my position on photos!!!
Look forward to a patch
