    Camera Geo-Tagging - can't switch it off

    Hi guys.

    I'm in the uk with a T-Mobile branded SGS running stock froyo.

    Something is bugging me. When I'm using my camera, i see the GPS signal flashing in the (camera) notification bar and the photo has a location added to it. I know some people like the feature, but it is bugging me. There does not seem to be any way of stopping this feature in the firmware i have. I've been through the settings.

    Anyone have the same issue or know a way around this?

    Thanks

    I don't think you can turn it off in Froyo.

    What a pain and an invasion of privacy! What if i don't want people to know where I've been just by the photos?

    Well, thanks for the responses peeps. At least i know now.

    Cheers.
