==Builtin Functionality==
Android phones have builtin GPS, cell tower and wifi location mechanisms. Thanks to this, these devices can be used to contribute to [[geographic information system]] projects like [[OpenStreetMap]]. To turn on wifi and GPS positioning, toggle the appropriate settings under <code>Settings->Location</code>. To enable photo geotagging, press the <code>Menu</code> button while the camera application is running and select <code>Settings</code>. From this menu, check the <code>Geo-tag photos</code> box.
==Additional Software==
* [http://code.google.com/p/osmeditor4android/ Vespucci] application allows editing of OpenStreetMap data directly from your mobile device.
* [[sf:projects/gpsloggerforand|GPS Logger for Android]] Allows logging of GPS tracks to the SD card in a GPX format.
