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.

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.
I will be spending some time in Europe next month and would like to use some GPS navigation software on my Diamond while my phone connection remains blocked.
Now I know what you will say, "use the search!" I have. What im looking for is software not for a motorist but software for a pedestrian/tourist. I am looking for something that will contain top-down street maps akin to Google Maps, only not requiring a data connection.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yeah, I heard of this pedestrian mode in tomtom, but I cant find any screens of what the maps are like. I would prefer a 2D face down map if walking
In TomTom (at least since version 5) you can switch from 2D to 3D mode and back. In 2D mode you will get the top down view you are looking for like http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v467/jonchoo/961678b0.jpg
cool. Will give tomtom a whirl if there is a trial version out there.
Anyone tried Google Navigator? Ive seen a few screenshots online (looks pretty good) but I cannot find out much else about it

Hey guys. I am looking for some software similar to visualGPSce that will show me UTM coordinates. Is there a full GPS software that I could use such as TOMTOM or Garmin? I am in the army and would rather carry one device and batteries than two. Let me know and thanks in advance!

This converts between WGS84 and UTM. Saw it in another post on here using that "search" feature I keep hearing so much about
Hello everybody,
lately I've been seeing a lot of stuf on navigation.
I've been using Mobile Map 9 for quite some time now. GPS signal is extremelly fast and so far it's clear nice looking (better then even TOMTOM).
Mod Edit :
Warez and XDA Dont get along well, so beware!
I have to say iv been using this aswell and the maps are great. Rerouting is very quick and all round nice experience.
I have notice though the interface seems to be a direct port from their java version. But i did speak to them this week and they told me they are working on a new interface for it at the moment. so it will be even better
Sygic Mobile Maps 9 is very nice, and my GPS of choice.
Is it in English?
@kizer it has a lot languages
the only thing i miss is to leave out streets of choice! thats what i love in tomtom
and i miss a no highway option that just pops up before i calculate and can be chosen at driving
don´t hurt me for my english i´m german
How does this compare to CoPilot Live 8?
does this save maps to the sd? what other features does it have
against copilot its much faster and i can hear musicstreams over 3g (via TuneWiki) while i´m navigating without any lag of a program and i can hear the voice verry clear even when i´m hearing music the same time
yes it saves the maps on your sd...
it does so much please watch out here

I would like to get this and try it out, I installed copilot, holy crap it's slow.
Hmmm, the purchase page says select region. North, Central, and South America. Funny thing is there is not one Central American country listed.
FAIL
Uploading.....
I'm uploading Mobile Maps 9 to 4Shared.
It contained the Program and the benelux MAPS.
Tonight I'll upload the keygen for Map Activation.
*Taking a massive amout of time to upload

The MAPS are on the SD card. The App reads it from there.

Hate to break it to you, but this has *NOTHING* to do with the program you are running. *ALL* programs will take the same time to lock on to the GPS signal since the program itself has NOTHING to do with it. They call on OS functions to get GPS data.
If it appeared to take less time to lock on the GPS signal, then it is because the conditions just happened to be good for it.
I.e., clear sky, low/no foliage, possibly the GPS was already "warm", etc.
