Stefan -

I have been obsessing about this topic for well over a year but haven't
gotten anywhere...but I've done a lot of research.

The best option I could see so far is also a J2ME thing. But I believe that
you can send media (image, sound) from your phone through a server to a
website.  The program/service is called GeoTracing -
http://www.geotracing.com/ - and it seems to be quite healthy.

OpenDMTP (http://www.opendmtp.org/) seems to be another option, but my lack
of programming really hindered me in understanding how to make it work.  And
it too may be platform limited. I haven't looked at it much in the past few
months so I don't know if it's progressing at all.

I get frustrated with all of this for two reasons: I am not a programmer and
I don't have anyone yet to really work with to develop anything.

The three main pieces (I think) are:

Part 1 -  Determining your location. This has more options but a lot of them
require you to depend on someone else's server which I wasn't really
interested in.  (GPS enabled phone, GPS device, cell phone tower
positioning).  Platform related programming or already developed programs).

Step 2 - Tying the media (photos) to location (the tracklog or point
location).  Platform related (?) programming.

Step 3 - Sending the media to your desired location (social photo site,
personal site, etc.). Platform related programming and APIs(?).

Anyway - check out GeoTracing - maybe it or the developers can help you out.
