The Houston photos should be tagged as well. It doesn't seem like it
requires login to the wi-fi network to capture the address Eye-fi uses
to generate location data. The network's address just has to be in

Thouse from Houston won't be tagged, those from Boston will tagged
but how? Geoloc on the net is AFAIK VERY imprecise. If it is just to
get the town name, not very useful, really.
