I am interested in information on sending pictures with GPS coordinates from a cell phone. The purpose would be to collect rough locations of potential invasive species. 'Potential' because this information could be submitted by non-experts who are not sure whether or not the plant is an invasive species.

I realize that there may be multiple ways to do this (sms, email, etc), but I am primarily interested in the most universally available methods, such that a small army of data collectors could send in pictures.

What is the approx  % of phones out there that can send GPS-tagged pictures?

As far as the audience, I'm starting from near ground zero. I rarely carry a cell phone, and I don't have one with a camera... so verbose information on the required phone capabilities, data plans, etc. is greatly appreciated.
