Picasa has problem, cannot show GPS info from Kaiser's GPS photo. But Flickr has is ok.
I used Kaiser's GPS Camera function to take this photo.
I uploaded this same photo to Picasa and Flickr. Picasa reported this photo has NO GPS info while Flickr has no problem display the photo on the Yahoo Map correctly with the GPS info.

I use ACDSee to see the file properties of this photo and the GPS info are correctly shown.
Anyone has similar experience?

What is "GPS Camera function"... how to enable / use it?

By using the KaiserTweak.

I have the same problem...
Don't know how to resolve...

when I upload my GPS photo's to Picasa from my Kaiser they show up over 10 miles East?!?!
I will try some different hosting sites now....

4nt: I notice you live in London; Do you live close to the prime meridian at all?
I think the GPS Photo software has a bug with recording which side (East or West) of the prime meridian you are. I know mine for some reason records all photo's as being xx' xx.xx" E, even if taken west of the 0' meridian.

I thought the default camera app adds lat/lon to exif since 1.5, if not there is always snap photo...

Default doesn't, so probably go with SnapPhoto.
You can also geotag photos taken with a DSLR/digicam by installing Google My Tracks on the phone. Before you begin taking photos, you need to do two things: 1) Make sure your camera and phone clocks are synchronized (within 1 minute would be good). I suggest syncing the camera to the phone, as the phone gets highly accurate time from the GSM network. 2) Start My Tracks and begin recording your GPS position. Now just keep your phone on you as you take pictures. When you are done taking photos stop the GPS recording, choose the Save to SD option and export the track as a GPX file. On your computer, install a geotagging application like GeoSetter or Gpicsync. In the app, specify the folders containing your photos and GPX files. Then all you need to do is click the sync or apply button and the app will automatically look for GPX files with similar timestamp ranges and apply the geotag data to your pictures.

If you want to support OpenStreetMap.org and similar types of activities geotagged photos of street signs and photos in general are useful for the OpenStreetView project...

Geotag photos… footprints?

Anyone know of any good geotagging photo apps?
Footprints widget is cool but I haven’t gotten Footprints geotag to be recognized by any PC programs and footprints doesn’t take real pictures only square snapshots. And turning on geotag in the camera doesn’t seem to do anything.

I got geo-taggin to work on the regular camera when it came to working with Picasa.

Alternatively you could run a gps logging app (like My Tracks), export the .gpx file to your PC, then tag the photos using a PC app like GeoSetter. The upshot of this method is you can also use the .gpx files to tag photos taken by your standalone camera. The downside is you'll have to remember to start it up every time you want to take geotagged shots, either on your phone or otherwise.

N1 photo share location with picasa

I took some photos last week and the N1 stored the location in the photos. I had GPS on and the location is showing up in the details of the photo when viewed in the Gallery app but when I share to Picasa wirelessly using the phone the location does not show up in Picasa.
Does anyone now how to resolve this?
