Using GPS enabled phones to tag and upload photos to website-
A society that is a client of ours wants to maintain photos of architectural features of buildings all over the country. What typically happens is that during a tour photos are taken together with some handwritten notes and later that day, the photos are uploaded into a database and the handwritten notes manually rekeyed and tagged. The database powers the website where the photos and accompanying data can be viewed.
An alternative that I have been thinking about is a phone application that uploads photos from a GPS enabled cell phone to the website whenever they are taken. By using GPS, a reverse lookup of the address can also be performed, for example via:
Nominatim - OpenStreetMap Wiki
The website would then be updated on-the-fly while taking photos: both the imagery and location are entered, which are the two main pieces of information, and as a result would reduce workload substantially.

Does anyone know of a similar phone application, ie where photos can be uploaded immediately onto a website together with location information?

dfo

DFO(1)							      General Commands Manual							    DFO(1)

NAME

       dfo - Desktop Flickr Organizer for Gnome

DESCRIPTION

       DFO  allows  online/offline  mode  management  of your photos. With DFO you can manage your existing photos and sets, create new sets, edit
       tags, descriptions, and permissions, contribute to group pools, and so on. Basically performing most of the tasks that Flickr's online man-
       agement tool Organizer does.

NOTE

       The first time you run DFO, the app won't know who you are or have access to your Flickr account, so all you will see is a window with sev-
       eral empty panes. To get started, select Connect from the File menu. DFO will open a link to the Flickr site in your default  Web  browser,
       where you must grant DFO authorization to connect to your Flickr account. This is a security precaution enforced by Flickr on all apps that
       use the Flickr API.

FEATURES

       * Add/Delete/Edit comments. Text search comments and their author names.

       * Post photos to blogs.
