How to to activate the gps photo

How to to activate the gps photo on the TytnII (like the Artemis)
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\
in the folder called P9 change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1.
Now if you launch the camera you must find a new menu called "gps photo".
When you shot a photo in this way the tytn write the position (lat and long) in the exif data of the photo.

Cool. Note that GPS photo doesn't show up in the menu -- it's another camera mode, like photo/video/contacts/etc.

Sure, excuse me for my bad english and poor explanation.
For a free exif reader

You can use the lat and long in google maps, in TomTom etc.

How does this work?
Do you need to connect the GPS first? ... with what? The Camera software?
Please if you can be more detail ....

When you select GPS Photo, the camera software turns GPS on itself if you're not connected already...

Thanks for the info. This is like adding GPS function to the Trinity
Now I have photos with GPS coordinates. How can I add them into Google Map? Thanks

If you want to simply view the point in google maps:
with exif reader read the coordinates of the photo i.e
GPSLatitudeRef : N
GPSLatitude : 41 0706 [DMS]
GPSLongitudeRef : E
GPSLongitude : 14 5225 [DMS]
Now open google maps and write in "find" the coordinates in this way
41 07' 06'' 14 52' 25''
Google maps show you the point were you have take the photo!

It's called geo tagging in google.
Use the picassa image software from google. if you load the photo's in there, the tool will recognize the coordinates and by following a menu it will bring you to the location in google earth (which you already have of coarse). It shows the photo (and all other photo's geotagged) indexed by picassa in Google earth.

Read post #1 and #3 again..... The position information is stored in the EXIF information of each photo.

Hi, I've just activated this and I am getting the GPS photo on screen with the GPS on. But when I take a photo there is no location data on it. Anyone have any ideas?

Forgive my ignorance. I'm assuming the regedit for the TyTN II? How do I get there?
If for the PC, I don't have it and can someone explain how that would adjust the setting on the phone?

Use PHM RegEdit
Here is the link http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/

Has anyone actually taken a GPS photo that worked?

I'm not sure if the GPS camera option is actually taking photos and storing GPS data. The LAT/LONG data is not in the exif of any photos I've taken using the GPS camera. I've taken pictures with and without GPS test running in the background. And yes I had a GPS fix when I've tried taking these pictures.
Can anyone confirm or deny please? Please tell me what I'm doing incorrectly.
TYIA

sure, it works great

Dude... It is receiver not transmitter and also airplane has GPS, so who would care
Anyway: POLL:
What do you think will happen if you will cross the 1000 km/h speed?
a) Phone explodes!
b) nothing, it counts from 0 again as it has only 3 digits for speed in TomTom

Thanks guys. What are you using the view the location data? Maybe I'm just not using the right program.

google earth?

I use ExifRead to see the Lat/Lon coordinates, then just find it in Google Earth. I believe you can get it here: http://www.tawbaware.com/exifread.zip

Maybe you will go somewhere, take a photo of something interesting, after some time find the photo in your archive and ask "Where the hell did I take this one?"
BUM! GPS info and you're back from pre-Alzheimer stage

can i ask you which program have you used to see the Exif information?
i'd like to put my GPS photo in google earth but i don't know what i've to do

Picasa will read the pictures but you (well I) need to modify the Exif data before I import them otherwise the GPS co-ords are not read. Once Picasa can see the GPS data then it will upload to your web albums.
I use: exiftool <foldername> -r -GPSVersionID=2.2.0.0

I can at least tell u what will happen if you keep up high speed for a couple of time (in other words: move some hundreds of kilometres):

I used Irfanview with the "EXIF Plugin" installed. When you view the EXIF Data there is a button in the corner, that sends you right to the location in Google Earth.

I had trouble with this too at first anyway. I presume you already had the GPS option or you have enabled the GPS option for your camera (my UK T-Mobile MDA Vario III had it disabled by default!)?
If so, take the picture, then go here www.gpsvisualizer.com
It's very simple - you upload the picture, choose the output format and click GO!

Hello, I need some help. I have lots of GPS _xxx.jpg photos taken by TyTN GPS Photo. All of them shown GPS coordinates in their EXIF info when I view them in ACDSee. None of them can shown their locations in Google Maps when I upload them to Picasaweb.
I downloaded exiftool but when I type your stated command line commands, it said the file not found GPSVersionID=2.2.0.0
Would you further advise me how can I "fix" these photos so that Picasaweb can correctly show their locations in Google Maps?
Thanks.

flickr reads the location correctly. for me i just email the photos to my flickr account and then you can map out all you pictures on their site. you do need to turn on the gps option in your flickr settings.

Haa Haa good one..Yup Google is about only Exif capable app at the mo.
As for using any receiver on a plane....GODDAM you are at 30,000 feet on average most of the time, do you not think that ANY delicate TX/RX lines are not sheilded from external radio sources at that height?? Internal sheilding is just the same...pretext was, they wern't sure of radio interference...THAT was 8 years ago...Now they are sure...that they can charge money for you using your phone or WiFi on a plane safely...Money, Money MONEY...

Yeah, plus I had phone/wifi/bt turned of. Only GPS turned on, which is just a receiver.
A portable DVD-player or an electric razor sends out much more radiation than that.

GPS Camera?

Look i searched but i cant figure it out. O.k. i put the nadavi camera .cab on my tilt and i noticed a photo selection called (GPS) so i tryed it. but i guess the main question is what does it do. I even noticed that it activates the gps. so again what does this do and what is the use for this thing? i appreciate any help.

The key with searches is reading what you find!
Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyway, the picture is taken & encoded with exif data. When formatted properly you can see the location the picture was taken at in google earth. There are a few programs that can upload & view the location in a map as well. I guess it can be used for documenting road trips, scouting for hunts, geological tracking, etc.

thank you, thank you, thank you. That was a quick reply and i appreciate it

Suggestions for GPS Datalogger

Sorry to bother people, but i hope someone can give me some suggestions.
I want to set up a workflow to geotag my photos. THe camera has no GPS support, so i would like to use the cell phone as a Datalogger, merge this data with the images, then import the tagged photos into iPhoto.
So can anyone recommend a simple GPS data logger for the Touch Pro/Fuze that can run in the background for extended periods.
Thanks

GPSToday has such a function, I never tried it...
www.geoterrestrial.com

GPSToday is dang good. Thx for the link...
I just took this pic of my brother (yeah, terrible quality. I'm drunk. Big whoop. Wanna fight?), and used GPSToday to geotag it. Uploaded to Picasa, and see the mappy goodness...
The COOLEST thing EVER is that it tags the photos in a folder you specify. So essentially you could tag a bunch of pictures that you took with ANY camera, as long as you copy those pics to a storage card and let GPSToday tag them.
You really have no idea how much time I spent dreaming up this app over the past 2 days. Thanks again for the link. Time to tag a bunch of the pics I took with my DSLR...
NS

OSMTracker is pretty good...

Upload photo right after shooting in D2?

Just got D2 for a week. Happy with most features and function, with the help from this site!
I'd been using E71 and there's a quick function to upload photo to on-line album right after you shot yr photo. Just one click and done. This feature is pretty convenience.
Is there any similar apps / program to do this?

I've always used Shozu for uploading immediately to Flickr. I think it supports other services too.

Thanks, Seraph321.
I'll try Shozu and report if there's any issue.
