Geotagging Photos

I got very excited to discover ZoneTag, but this just adds geotags to your Flickr uploads. Is there anything that adds geotags to the EXIF data on the photo itself?

I think a lot of people use Shozu for this. I found that it took up way too much memory though (it sits in the background constantly once installed). There is also a python camera that supports geotagging, but it didn't seem to behave correctly when I tried it.

I was hoping that there would be a small app to handle this, but apparently not.

I looked in to writing one myself, but there doesn't appear to be any way to easily hook in to the default camera application and I didn't fancy writing a complete camera application myself just for geotagging. I guess that other such applications just monitor the pictures directory for new files, unless I missed something.

Another reason I didn't continue with it is that the S60 3rd Ed. FP1 emulator doesn't work on Vista (*sigh*). Many of the other emulators do, just not that one. Thanks, Nokia. I didn't fancy paying out for the development tools for on-device debugging, which would be the alternative.
