ZoneTag: Geotagging software from Yahoo that works with Flickr

Published on February 27th, 2006 in gps navigation, software

The software finds the location of the images from the cell towers you were connected at the time the image was taken and will actually upload the exact coordinates if the user has GPS device on board. Currently works with only Nokia 6620, 6670, 6680, 6681, 6682, 7610 models and they say it is likely to also work on Nokia 3230, 6630, 6260. Here are the requirements for you to get this to work:

Data plan for your phone
Photos are uploaded over an Internet connection. MMS or SMS plans are not enough. Your phone will need to have a “data plan,” allowing your phone to send any data over the network.

Photo files are large. Make sure you don’t exceed your data plan’s limits when you upload photos.

Roaming costs may be surprising. Make sure you know how much you are being charged for data upload if you are in a different calling area or country.

We are not responsible for your bill.

Flickr & Yahoo! accounts

If you happen not to have one of these, you will be able to create it during the process. You will not be required to merge your Flickr and Yahoo accounts.

US users only
This research prototype is currently only available to US users.
