UIImagePickerController saving image with geolocation info?

When I take the picture using the UIImagePickerController I get the info dictionary in the delegate method call didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo.... that does not provide any information on the location of the image...

I want to be able to embed the location where the image was taken and possibly even the heading... How can I save the image with the location embedded in it as well?

iOS strips the geolocation data from images. You will have to use CoreLocation to replace the stripped data. See the following.

Look at RonC's answer here: UIImagePickerController and extracting EXIF data from existing photos

This shows how to get the location / date from the ALAssetLibrary API. For photos taken by the camera I haven't found a ready-made solution yet but clearly you can just use your own CLLocationManager to fetch the current location.
