Adding the geographical position to your photos

Turn on geotagging to add the approximate geographical location (a geotag) to

photos when you take them. The geographical location is determined either by

wireless networks (mobile or Wi-Fi® networks) or GPS technology.
When appears on the camera screen, geotagging is turned on but the

geographical position has not been found. When appears, geotagging is turned on

and the geographical location is available, so your photo can get geotagged. When

neither of these two symbols appears, geotagging is turned off.

Tap , then tap Geotagging > On.

Tap OK to agree to enable GPS and/or wireless networks.

Check the options that you want to select under Location services.

If appears on the camera screen, your location is available and your photo

can get geotagged. If not, check your GPS and/or wireless network

connection.
