[Tagging] Photo links in OSM

[Johan C]

My one year old Samsung Galaxy S3 has got the ability to geotag photos. If
there would be an app which can use such a geotagged photo and link it to
an OSM POI nearby, than I would go for that. Upload it under ODbL, no
copyright issues, Cost is a secondary thing which can be solved.

Cheers, Johan
