Many devices that have or use a GPS chip will expose some kind of API for accessing LBS data. For example, RIM expose an API to access LBS data from the BlackBerry.
Also, to access geographic data from geo-tagged images, see information on extracting Exif data ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif ). There are Open Source Exif readers and APIs available.

Thanks Mamallan PS: Proposed HTML 5.0 spec provides Geolocation API to access GPS related data from GPS enabled devices.
