iphone - UIImagePicker overwritting geotagging in photo - fixed in os4?

Question

It is my understanding that currently if you use UIImagePicker to grab a photo, it passes back back a UIImage object which doesn't include any of the geotagging information. I was wondering if it's confirmed that in OS 4 this is fixed? Or any suggestions on where to go look to see if this is fixed?

Thanks, Mark

Answer 1

I found an app call PixelPipe that retains the geotag information. Give that a try. I'd like to use the native Flickr app if it supported geotag retention.

Answer 2

The new lower level AVFoundation calls provide means to get metadata along with image data.
