- “Open your camera app, go to “Settings” (sprocket), menu item: “Geotagging”, “On”:
- Turning the phone’s the GPS on is not absolutely necessary, as this indoor basement shot proves:
- but will likely increase the accuracy of the Geotag in your photo greatly:
- How to view depends on your photo viewer application, above examples are taken from the free Windows Live Photo Gallery.

Using geolocation information in photos for documentation?
2011/10/26

- During documentation writing today, I noticed that my WlGallery suddenly (?) started displaying the geotags in pictures taken with my Palm Pixi which I set a long time ago to store (and share) location information. I t looks like this has started working earlier, but gone unnoticed.
I also looks like it uses cell tower triangulation, not GPS data (when the latter is not available?): 
At such a granularity, this feature can not be useful for generating documentation. But maybe for excursions? - But seems still a bit iffy, on the Pixi side of things: I am pretty sure that previously, I could not see geotags in my photos, even though I tried several image metadata viewers. Also, the Pixi does not always add geotags: is this limited to pictures taken when there are network connectivity issues?
- Also seems like editing operations in wlgallery, including create panorama, “eat” the geotags in the output image….
