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
PTAInterpolate - Interpolate intermediate images between stereo photos. SYNOPSIS
PTAInterpolate script_file [param2] DESCRIPTION
PTAInterpolate Interpolate intermediate images between stereo photos. Description: This program is an enhanced version of Helmut Dersch's original PTInterpolate program. PTInterpolate's source code was never released, so this program was written from scratch. It is believed that this program should function as a substitute for the original PTInterpolate program in most circumstances. Enhancements to the original PTInterpolate program include: 1. When used with the accompanying source code in the original distribution, the output is in TIFF format, not PSD (with an incorrect extension) 2. The output files produced by this program include a numeric value indicating the amount of the interplation position between left and right images 3. If no valid "i" lines are included in script, then this program triangulates the c lines, and ovrewrites the script file Usage: PTAInterpolate script.txt [param2] Where "param2" is either an image index (0=left, 1=right) to be used when triangulating, or a filename prefix to be used when interpolat- ing.
