iPhone 2.0 Geotagging

I installed the 2.0 software on my 1.0 iPhone today, and have been gradually working through the differences as well as the third party apps. As advertised, the camera now seems to offer to geotag your photos as you take them - it asks you when you open the camera app whether you want to allow it to access location data. Sure, why not.


So I took a test picture and uploaded it to Flickr, via email, to see how it works.

Testing iPhone 2.0 geotagging
Well, it didn't. Just like before, emailing a photo strips essential EXIF data, including coordinates. I then tried transferring it to my computer to see if the geotag would be preserved that way.

It worked! Which means... I'm in China. Huh. The weird thing is that the Google Map application locates me very accurately.

I did notice something very positive. Compare this picture I took last night:

to the one above. The one taken with the 2.0 firmware looks much better, right? And they were both taken in approximately the same lighting conditions.

There seems to be a one-two punch with bad exif data being attached in the phone and then mail stripping out what data is there. I'm hoping someone will release an application that will fill in the gaps.
