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
http://www.takenet.or.jp/~ryuuji/minisoft/exifread/english/
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/
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.

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.
Just wondering if like the HTC Kaiser the Diamond has the option to use the GPS Photo setting, I know that with the Kaiser the registry had to be modified, has anyone heard if this is the case with the Diamond.
Cheers
Andy
I asked that a couple of days ago already..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396136
No clear answer yet, unless its in the video's, but its hard to watch here in China. So I don't know yet...
why dont you guys dump the roms and check there before asking here. in short... yes it has the gps photo.
Sorry I am not that technically minded to know what dumping a rom is.
I had spent an hour or so on Google so felt that sufficent research time spent before deciding to ask the question here.
thanks for the reply though
geotagging
i will be writing a detailed post about geotagging using any windows mobile 5/6 device that has gps built in.
must warn in advance that any geotagging info written to file whilst still on the device is not what i will be dealing with (roms and al that sort of stuff will deal with tht) i will be talking about once your photos get to your computer.
check back here soon. cant do it now im at work.

According to the tweak post, stickied at the top of this forum, it requires you to change a registry setting. To do so, download any Windows Mobile registry editor, and install the file. Then, check out the Diamond Tweak thread, tip #13 (I've just copied it below, but the thread is really filled with valuable information!)
13. Enable GPS photo: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
It might not be the right place to ask this but does this mean the GPS is activated/deactivated when you start/stop the camera ?
nope, only when you go into the GPS Photo mode.
Hi Guys
i've applied the following tweak from the top thread:
"13. Enable GPS photo: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1"
Does this now mean the photo's are/can be geo-tagged? If so, how do I use it? I have looked in the camera options but cant see any options in there to turn it on/attach it to a photo.
GPS location is attached in EXIF. Searching would tell you quicker . For viewing location of taken photos use some EXIF reader.
In combination with this question i have one regarding this. If u use geotagging, will gps startup everytime u take a picture? I think it will do so, but like to know for sure.
If you enable GPS photo, you will see an extra cameramode called GPS-Photo, just push "up" and there you go and thats when GPS starts up. You can still take regular pictures without Geotagging easily

Thanks Tom, you are indeed very correct! Tucked away on the last page of the camera mode "GPS-Photo". Cheers!
i have changed the reg value to 1 as well but i still dont have the enable gps mode in my camera settings?

which programs actually read and make use of this GPS tagging data????

I was looking at the Kaiser wiki, and I must say that I really like the look of the photo editor that's in the picture. Anyone know what that program is? Thanks!
