Nokia N78 Built-In Geotagging Explained by User Manual
After looking at the Nokia N78 user manual from the FCC, you can see a section explaining how the built-in geotagging function works. It is simple. If the ‘record location’ option is on and a GPS position is acquired, the camera will save the location information within the pictures’ Exif data. No need for other applications like Shozu or Location Tagger.


An icon on the screen tells us if location is unavailable and changes when location is found. I don’t think the built-in geotagging feature will be exclusive to the Nokia N78 and we should probably expect this feature in the upcoming phones with built-in GPS.
According to the Nokia N78 user manual, the GPS receiver is located at the top left corner to shorten the time of locking in the position. We won’t know for sure how accurate the GPS is or how it affects battery life until we get our hands on one.
Viewing the location of the photos can be viewed on the phone as well according to the manual, but Flickr also does a fine job at showing off your geotagged photos.
