I am going to assume that GPS was active in the location settings when
the pictures were taken.

One interesting thing about images 2 and 3 is that both seem to have
location 48.0000, 2.0000 and the two real locations where the pictures
were taken also share the same degrees value (central Paris is 48.8548,
2.3471)

It is possible that in case the sensor has a bad location fix, it
returns the best estimate it can get, even if the reading is only good
to a hunded kilometers accuracy.

The sensor seems to return the estimated accuracy of the data, but the
camera application currently does not check this information and just
stores the coordinate reading.

Maybe we should only geotag images if the accuracy of the reading is
relatively good (50m-100m perhaps ?)

Title:
  Error with geotagging (fixed position defined as geotag)

Bug description:
  When tacking photographs using camera-app, I experience various
  problems with geotagging. Sometimes I don't get any geotag (picture
  1.jpg) and most of the time I got a wrong geocoding, that is always
  the same, and some place I never went to (2.jpg, 3.jpg are examples of
  photos with known places to demonstrate that, Versailles castle
  orangeraie and Eiffel tower in France).

  If more info/tests are needed, don't hesitate to ask.
