System and method for selecting a geographic location to associate with an object

A system for geotagging images on a mobile handheld communication device, the system comprising:

• a memory storing a geotagging module which executed by a main processor operable to:
• provide a first graphical user interface on the mobile handheld communication device with a plurality of destination options for sending an image based on a destination selection of one of the plurality of destination options comprising at least an e-mail recipient and an online data repository;
• in response to receiving a user selection of one of the plurality of destination options, provide a second graphical user interface with a plurality of user selectable options for obtaining geographic location coordinates, wherein the user selectable options for obtaining geographic location coordinates comprise at least two of an option to obtain the geographic location coordinates from a GPS module, an option to select a location from a stored list and an option to select a location from an onscreen map;
• in response to receiving a user selection of one of the plurality of options for obtaining geographic location coordinates, tag image with the geographic location coordinates obtained from the selected one of the plurality of user selectable options for obtaining geographic location coordinates;
• and send the image to either the e-mail recipient or the online data repository based on the selected one of the plurality of destination options.
