A new (not yet in beta) application from Nokia was just announced alongside the N79 and N85. This program called LifeviNe adds automatic geotagging and uploading of pictures, video and music to your Nokia phone. Based on the popular Nokia SportsTracker application, LifeviNe is for capturing everyday events with your Nokia and uploading them to a map. All of the media is tagged by location so you’ll know exactly where you were when you were inspired by the latest song. Naturally there is a widget you can put onto Facebook so your nosy friends can see how totally cool your life is and how pathetic theirs is.
With a whole range of devices now sporting geotagging, lifeviNe takes the concept to a new level. Run the lifeviNe widget on your device and it’ll pinpoint every image, video and music to a location (though we’re not sure yet where the music comes in). It’ll also push the media onto the web where you can tag it, track it and share it with others.The new app is based on Sports Tracker, which has been a huge hit since it launched out of Beta Labs last year. Although they share the same base architecture, the two apps look and feel completely different. Once running, you can use your device as you normally would, or keep an eye on your activity using the lifeviNe app.
As well as tagging all your media’s locations the app will also track where you’ve been (so you need to be careful when you have it switched on!), and plot your journey on the web based map when you sync it at the end of the day. Uploading is a cinch too, as lifeviNe can be set to automatically upload whenever you’re in a trusted wireless zone.
Watch for this application to become available in beta within the next few weeks.
