Does the geotag work with Flickr
 
When I take a pic with the N900 and it has the geotag on, then share with flickr from the N900 should flickr add it to the map automaticaly?

Cheers

Marty

Yes, provided that the N900 is set to geotag the picture in the first place, the sharing plugin is configured to not strip the geotags as it uploads, and Flickr is set to 'Import EXIF location data' and has 'Who will be able to see your stuff on a map' set to something suitably liberal.

Get all that right and it works fine.

How do you set n900 to geotag picture?

Go to camera, and then click the middle-top menu (it says camera). You should be able to enable it from there.

There's a related bug, though, that I reported recently:

Geotagging on the N900 implies both latitude/longitude info in the Exif and thr human readable name of the place in the IPTC tags. Flickr takes the location from these IPTC tags and displays them as regular tags, which is a reasonable thing to do.

Unfortunately, the encoding of non-ASCII characters is wrong on the N900 (or rather: the encoding is right, but the information about the character set is missing), so you'll end up with a bunch of funny characters in these tags and have to delete them manually from flickr for each and every picture.
