Picture Location Information available ?

Hi Guys,

is there a way to acces the Picture Location Info through Corona SDK ? I thought all pictures had Geo Coordinates and I was wondering if there is a way to access them ?

If not, could be a feature request, I could think of some cool things to do with it.

Greets !

I also need this feature. There is no way to acces Location Info through Corona SDK. Maybe it is possible to write it in LUA but I’m not an expert. There are javascript scripts on internet that read the exif data from jpg. If someone could implement that in Lua…

Well I know you can build a GPS using the MapView functions, so I think you would be able to make a function that saves the location where the picture was taken, but unfortunately MapView is not supported in the simulator right now, so it wouldn´t be easy to do.
