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?

NAME
deghosting_mask - Creates mask for removing ghosting in images SYNOPSIS
deghosting_mask [options] <image1> <image2> ... DESCRIPTION
Takes a series of aligned photos, usually three or more, and generates masks for removal of ghosts - Data that only appears in a minority of photos. OPTIONS
-o|--output <path> Prefix for output masks -s|--sigma <float> Standard deviation of Gaussian weighting function (SIGMA > 0); default: 30 -i|--iterations <int> Number of iterations, default is (ITER > 0) default: 4 -t|--threshold <float> Threshold; default: 150 -c|--contrast <float> Change constrast before applying threshold; default: 1.3 -a|--advanced <f|g|m|t|w> Advanced settings. Possible options are: f Use gray images for computation. It's about two times faster but it usually returns worse results. You also have to change threshold to smaller value (around 100) g Use gamma 2.2 correction instead of logarithm if input images are HDR m Do not scale image, NOTE: slows down process t Use simple threshold, may result in holes in images w Compute "complete" weights, not only probabilities -w|--save <i|w> Advanced save settings i Save initial weigths w Save generated weigths -b <int> Image cache BLOCKSIZE in kilobytes; default: 2048KB -m <int> Set image CACHESIZE in megabytes; default: 1024MB -h|--help Display this help -v|--verbose <0|1> Verbose, repeat for more verbose output AUTHORS
