Uploading a photo with GPS location

Is there a way to pass the GPS coordinates where the photo was taken as location parameter to the FB Graph API photo upload ( https://graph.facebook.com/me/photos )?

FB announced a while ago they will add this feature to the photo objects. Actually they said the location can be added to every update and if I upload a photo through the FB web interface I can indeed define the location where a photo was taken. Now I want to pass this as a parameter to the photo upload from my mobile app.

Thanks.

Currently the photos endpoint only supports adding a Facebook Page as location for the Photo. The place field is just the Facebook Page ID.

Im not sure if you can post ACTUAL gps coordinates to the post - however
You can specify a location object to the post. You can read here for more information on creating a post and what parameters you can pass.
The location parameter is called place :

object containing id and name of Page associated with this location, and a location field containing geographic information such as latitude, longitude, country, and other fields (fields will vary based on geography and availability of information)

Looks like you can post latitude and longitude...
