So... does everyone's geotagging appear to be working when they take snaps? I live in San Fran, and when I shoot a photo, it's 50/50 whether the phone puts it in the 'San Francisco' or the 'Unknown' location directory.

Weirder still, when I select a photo in the gallery, it does show 'San Francisco, California' at the bottom of the screen, above the time stamp and share button - sometimes twice. If I go to options > more > map, it'll place the marker somewhere west of the Bay Area, off in the Pacific Ocean...

This behaviour is consistent, whether I take the picture inside or outside. I'm getting a very quick and pretty accurate lock with Google Maps, and tested the GPS with the Market app 'GPS Test', so I'm feeling confident this is a camera software issue.

Just wanted to hear if others were experiencing anything similar.
