In Fremantle, tracker 0.6 can store the location of Images (basically the geotags the user set in the image viewer). Those properties contain text, so you need to use the location API to turn them into coordinates for your map application. About other media types... there is no other format containing location, so tracker cannot fill that information by itself. Our idea for the future is that _applications_ can set location values for the files (e.g. a shopping-list note in the supermarket, so i can see it when i arrive there). This will be supported in tracker 0.7 (ready to play with on desktop), but not in 0.6/fremantle. Some remarks to the previous comments in the thread: 1) EXIF is not the only format for metadata in images. There is XMP or IPTC, and you need a hierarchy to choose between them, and handle broken files and ... well, don't underestimate the problem 2) The idea of scanning and monitoring the filesystem means basically to duplicate the functionality of tracker (and probably the code ;)) 3) Scanning and reading files is not CPU expensive, but needs a lot of IO, and IO is a very precious resource.
