GEO-stamp???

[SatelliteGuy]

I was wondering if anyone out there has seen a camera app that will put the GEOtag info in the picture like a timestamp? I know it's in the metadata, but I dont even see the purpose in that. I need it to be right there in the pic so that as ur scrolling thru the pics, you can tell that theyre all from the same place and time.

The purpose is to link the geotag data to the appropriate image. And that's precisely what it does by inserting it to the image's metadata.
You don't see that purpose because you're shooting and viewing those snaps (because 'photos' they're not) on a phone, not on a computer.
On a computer you can do all sorts of things with metadata/geotag data. Like e.g. super imposing it on/in images.

I need it to be right there in the pic so that as ur scrolling thru the pics, you can tell that theyre all from the same place and time.

If you want proper, i.e. quality images, shoot with a proper, quality camera. Not with a phone which' "camera" – with a teensie weensie plastic 'lens' and minuscule sensor – could also have come from a chewing gum vending machine. And it shows.
What you can use your phone – with GPS – for is geotagging those quality photos you shoot with a decent/real camera (which doesn't have on-board geotagging). Just download and install the GeoTag app (free and paid version) from the Market or from AppBrain, bring a real camera (point & shoot or dSLR), follow directions, and shoot the whole world.

Same purpose as any of the other metadata.
