I found a issue with the positioning system, really strange issue:

- I activated both GPS and Network location... ok.;.

On Maps, everything is ok, I am well located... but as soon as I want to use geo tagging (using IM, photo ...) the tag says :

"@ Paris, Tahiti" ...., if I select "streen name" it shows :

"Avenue des Champs Elysée, Paris , Tahiti"


Why Tahiti?????? is that a bug (I noticed the same issue on a N900 preview video on internet by The phone house team)

Sounds like a bug in the map data, please report it.

liblocation gives you geolocation. but I suspect its Ovi Map data went wrong?

liblocation is the code you want to check (to get coordinate data that is).

The issue is certainly due to libcityinfo which uses /usr/share/clock/wdb .

The reverse lookup can be match by several country and display a wrong info.

Eg : Spain and "Las Canarias" share the country code ES... this mean geolocation could show : "@ Madrid, Las canarias"

Eg: France, Tahiti, Guyana share "FR"...

Eg : Danemark and Groenland share DK....
