Bambuser features several ways of pinpointing your broadcasts geographically.
Network based tagging
As of October 2008 our Symbian based clients can take advantage of the cell network when determining your location. No GPS required! The level of accuracy is low compared to GPS, but knowing the city you are broadcasting from might be just as valuable information to your viewes as the street address... It is also a good complement on phones with built-in GPS, as getting GPS lock usually takes a while.
To get this as an option, download the latest version of the client for Symbian based phones.
Activate network based geotagging by going to "options" -> "settings" and switch "send position" to "yes. This functionality is dependent on the network, hence it might not work with your carrier.
GPS tagging
As of October 2008 our Symbian based clients have support for GPS tagging out of the box. If your phone has a GPS device, download and install the latest version,then head over to "options" -> "settings" and switch "send position" to "yes. The Bambuser application automatically switches from Network based positioning to GPS based positioning once the phone has GPS fix.
It usually takes a little while to get GPS lock and you seldom get position inside buildings. AGPS takes care of a lot of these issues. If you have a handset without AGPS out-of-the-box (such as the N95 with 1.0 firmware) we strongly recommend you check if there are firmware upgrades providing this. Also, make sure AGPS is configured with the proper data access point.
Manual tagging
Your videos can also be tagged manually. Log in to bambuser.com and notice the "geotag" tab in the rightmost column when watching a video without a geograpichal location.
Once there, tagging is as easy as dragging an icon across a google map and releasing it where you want to.
Tip: Try using the mouse scroll wheel for zooming.
