Nokia posted its lifeblog protocol specification when the N95 came out. Surely newer versions will be posted once they are out of beta?

@Ms Jen
Sorry, wasn’t very clear when I made the last joke. I meant to say that you could use sport tracker when using the geotagging program and check if you still get the spikes you had in the previous test. I guess you won’t.
Regarding geotagging with SP, I use gpicsync. It would not integrate with your blog, but it does geotag anything (even pics from other cameras), create kml file and you can upload everything to your webhost.

The GPS chip in my N95 8GB has given up…

…trying to prove to my carrier that it warrants a new handset.

Fingers crossed!

Oh – and when I get it fixed I’ll shout about NVine too.

Nice post.

CORRECTION: in 2006 I used a Nokia N80. Not an N82 (Oh, how I wish that was the case…).

Hi Ricky,

Much like the mobile Sports Tracker application, the mobile Nokia viNe app has its own folder and stores not only the photos as CJ mentions above, but also all the data and geo-tracking-pathing logs. Which are can be saved in kml files which can easily be used again.

When I did the AroundIreland.net project with my grad school team in 2006, we did not have such fancy pants apps and used a Nokia N82 plus a Garmin and then hand coded the kml files we needed.

I have twice spoken with Jussi K. who is the main dev on SportsTracker and have talked to him about how the ability to export the path and photos to servers outside of the Nokia servers would be a great boon to folks with their own blogs who wish to own their own data.

Now it would be easy enough for a developer to take the kml or gsv(?) files that SportsTracker/ Nokia viNe are creating and then be able to create plugin for one’s blog to take the data & photos and then reuse them to map/path in the fashion you want. All we need now is the ability that Lifeblog has, which is to be able to enter the URL of your blog’s Atom script & login into SportsTracker / Nokia viNe.

It behooves Nokia to provide not just hosted services like SportsTracker or Ovi for folks who want it, but also to provide three little inputs (Atom script, username, & password) into their mobile apps for those of us who would like our mobile creations to also or exlusively go to our blogs.

This is what Lifeblog got / gets really right on the mobile app, which is the ability to not only post the content to the co-promote company (Typepad) but also to add your own blog into the blog settings section. If Nokia discontinues the Lifeblog mobile app, I would like to see them Open Source the code so that I, or any other dev, can take it and improve it and keep it going out in the big wide world. (This is an upcoming blog post that I will be posting very soon)
