Ms. Jen was part of Nokia’s Urbanista Diaries Relay, which means they sent her to India to promote the Nokia N82 in all its glory. While on the trip, she realized how well the Sports Tracker (a typically exercise related feature) could be used to track the geo-locations of your photos:

• Nokia’s Sports Tracker could be ‘Photo Tracker’ – Black Phoebe :: Ms. Jen

Here are her directions:

1. Turn on Sports Tracker. Start a “workout”. Make sure the GPS signal is strong.
2. Start going around on the adventures and take photos. Go lots of new places, take photos, make sure the GPS signal remains strong.
3. Stop the Sports Tracker “workout”. Click on “upload to service”. Sports Tracker will find the photos associated with the “workout” route and send them to the ST server with the GPS data and athletic data.
4. The Urbanista Diaries flash app then pulls the photos, geo & route data feed to create a photo map and the slideshow that you can watch on the site.

I haven’t used the Nokia phones, but they seem to be the favorites of the technorati. With features like live streaming of video, Sport Tracker and other GPS related ideas, Nokia has some great ideas.
