 I'm looking for a way to geotag photos by pointing to a position on a

 runs on linux. DigiKam has an option for uploading gps tracks, but I

Geotag[1] seems to cover the features you need. Not sure if Ubuntu 
already has a package for it or not.

If you're using a newish version of DigiKam IIRC 0.9.5 or newer, you can use 
the Geolocation tools that are located in the Image menu. If you click on 
'Edit Coordinates' it should allow you to pick a point on the Google Map that 
appears in the window.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Synching calendars, contacts and tasks with mobile phone

This what we do now.

Our calendars are stored on Google/Google Apps and we use CalDAV to sync 
to our desktop/laptops on which we use Thunderbird  Lightning.

Google syncs quite happily to plenty of mobiles AFAICT.

Ah! Had looked at digikam, but missed that option. Thanks very much for 
the tip, problem solved:)
