Zusammenfassung:A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product are disclosed for identifying the geographic location where an object is created in a mobile wireless device, based on the known locations of a plurality of wireless access points. When the object is stored by the mobile device in a media object file format, the mobile wireless device determines the current location with respect to a plurality of wireless access points having known geographic locations. This enables identifying the geographic location of the wireless device at the time the object is created and then associating the location information with the object as a geo-tag, which can be attached to the object at the time it is created or later.
