Adding the geographic position to your photos
Turn on geotagging to add the approximate geographic location (a geotag) to photos when
you take them. The geographic location is determined either by wireless networks (mobile
or Wi-Fi® networks) or GPS technology. When
is turned on but the geographic position has not been found. When
is turned on and the geographic location is available, so your photo can get geotagged.

To turn on geotagging

2 Tap Geotagging.
3 Select On.
