Thanks to '''digiKam’s''' geocorrelation capabilities, you can geotag photos using a GPX file created with apps like [http://code.google.com/p/open-gpstracker/ Open GPS Tracker].

This means that you can take a geotagged snap with the Android camera and then transfer geographical coordinates from it to other photos using '''digiKam'''.
