I require gps location on my camera for work requirements, but all i can get to see the gallery when i check a photo details is the name of the area I'm in. It doesn't show the google map with coordinates like other phones. I've granted all permissions, but the issue persists. Can someone please advise if this is a standard with this phone or am I'm missing something obvious. Thanks
For map just swipe up on the full screen shown photo in the Gallery.
I back up my photos to the cloud so I can use the Google Photo app to view them. It shows you what you need: map with location coordinates.

Thanks! Yes i backup to cloud too, so easy to find there but I'm coming from a different brand phone where this kind of info was easier to view. Is there any way to get the map in aerial imagery mode? Thanks

I've enable the ....\Camera\P10 in the registry, the GPS Photo option shows up, I've choose it and then the GPS initialize and there's an icon shows (I guess) GPS signal is ready in the camera mode.
However, I use it to shoot photos (it stores in MYPOI rather than MyPictures)....but when I upload it in picasa, there's NO position information i..e longtitute and latitute.....
Anyone experience the same?
Put GPSToday from GeoTerrestrial on your phone and it will work much better than the inbuilt rubbish, you can grab a copy from here http://www.geoterrestrial.com/ not only is this a cracking application it is free!
Just a small word of warning though it does have use the phones GPRS data connection for the mapping side of the application - not a problem if you have inclussive Data in your phone contract - Mike

flickr works for me, but it reads the data sometimes wrong (only the degrees of latitude and longitude, thought the minutes and seconds are also in the header, but this is a known bug.)
e.g.

maybe just the problem with picasa
Hi guys,
Im new to this and have never geotagged any photos before but i like the idea of it.
Do you have any reccomendations as to the best software for doing this?
Also does anyone know step by step how i would go about it so that i could see the photos on google maps etc?
Thanks in advance Grin
I also have no idea of how this is done and am interested..
I believe the iPhone geotags and works with google maps?
Its indeed possible:

Doesnt explain whether this works with Google Maps (al'a iPhone), plus another question - why on Earth didnt HTC add this feature by default?
1. Download and install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=69442&d=1202399126
2. Download and install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=99781&d=1216258426
3. Open programs
4. Open Advanced Config
5. Change GPS Photo from disabled to enabled (optionally enable the rest of the camera settings while youre at it)
6. Soft reset
7. Open your camera, touch the screen and choose the middle symbol (The camera one)
8. Choose the last set of options, and choose GPS. (It might help if you opened a GPS app first like Google Maps or TomTom to enable the GPS, or it might take a while to get connected.
Your geo-tagged photos is in the Internal Storage\My Documents\My POI folder.
The geo-tagging doesnt work if you e-mail your photos to Flickr - you have to use their Uploadr program.
To use with Google Earth - first use iTag (http://www.itagsoftware.com/).
I've read everywhere in reviews and such that the Nexus One has geotagging and a macro mode in its camera.
Can anyone tell me where geotagging is in the camera app? I can't see any reference or mention to geotagging throughout the phone.
I also can't see any options for macro mode in the camera.

Look in the settings in the camera app, but I believe geotagging is a default option. In Froyo it looks like the GPS satellite icon.
Nope, can't find anything. I'm still on Eclair.
There is a geotagging option for sure, and it's in the camera. I remember turning it on. It's not called "geotagging", though. Might be "Tag photos" or something like that.
by default in eclair, if you leave gps active and take a photo, it should geotag.

It doesn't though, even after the Compass and Maps app gets a lock.
When you take a pic the beast puts some data with the pic, (date, time, focal length, pixels,....) and if the GPS is on 'n running (and thus knows where U R..) it will add GPS location info...(latitude, longtitude... etc..)
So,, when you then later look at Pic (on 'phone with, presumably, suitable APP [I ain't seen how to see these data with gallery] - or on PC with any number of bits of SW [I use gThumb on Linux]) you can see & do things with the GPS data...) you can see where you woz...
Some cameras (expensive usually) also GPS-tag pics... almost all digital snaps in my experience come with all the other tag data...

Further I assume you RTMF'd first...
The excellent Android Users Guide for 2.2 p 259 has this wee entry...
To view the location of a picture in Google Maps
If you have configured Camera to save location data with your pictures (see “Changing
Camera settings” on page 245), you can view the location where you took the picture
in Google Maps.
1 Touch a picture to view the controls and touch Menu.
2 Touch More.
3 Touch Show on map.
Google Maps opens, centered on the location stored in the picture.

- it works, I just tried it..
- read 'n enjoy!!

I'm pretty sure it worked like this in 2.1 also...
Also Googles must use the GPS tag info when linking from photo to other stuff....
Cheers 'n hope-that-helps...

on 2.1, there is an option in 'settings' for security and location, which says store location in pictures, or something similar. give it a looksee.
once you've found that option, install GPSstatus from the market, and make sure you have a 'location lock' before you start shooting. it will affirm that your gps is working (1) and that your camera has access to the gps (2) for tagging.
after taking a picture, the 'info' bit should reveal 'show on maps' or soemthing similar. you can also see the GPS coordinates in decent image viewers like: picasa, mac preview, etc
"Store location" = geotagging.
Wait until you see GPS symbol, that'll say that GPS is locked and the location is accurate.

umm yeah, store location is the geotagging option. turn it on.
I'm running EMUI9 on the Huawei P30 Pro.
When I take a photo, then click on the photo I've just taken in the circle to the left of the "take photo" button (see attached screenshot; photo preview highlighted be the arrow), I get the message:
"Unable to view photos. Please add gallery to the work profile and try again"
What does this mean? What do work profiles have to do with viewing a photo?
Has anyone else seen this before? It's driving me insane because it makes no sense at all, and there's no info about it anywhere. (I've Googled left, right & centre and found nothing...)
TIA.
Same issue after changing default gallery to google photos, this error pops up when i try view photos from the camera app, did you ever find a solution?
I have just been looking at this from the other side: making it work.
I am a novice device admin for our company and found your post when looking to solve the same issue. I just solved it so came back to pass on the details.
From the error I surmise you have the same basic issue as I had - a Huawei phone configured either as a personal phone also used for work, or a company phone which also allows personal use.
To make these changes you will need to be a device administrator for your organisation - if you aren't someone in your IT team should know who is.
I found to make the camera work I added the app package "com.huawei.camera" as an "Android Enterprise System App". For you to get the error this must have already been done on your phone.
The camera app relies on the Gallery app to show photos, so that app also needs adding as an "Android Enterprise System App". Depending on the mobile device admin portal the app category name may be different but the app package name is the same.
It took a while but I finally figured out the app package name to add is: com.android.gallery3d
Once added in the portal, the device policies sync'd and the Gallery appeared a second time in the full app list (with the work profile icon in the corner), the camera app could then allow the photos to be browsed.
Hopefully this helps resolve your issue too.
Jostain: I'll make an educated guess your problem is similar, but the Google Photos app needs to be added tot he work profile. I don't have the app package name for that but it probably won't be hard to find.
I have not long purchased the Honor 50 and I have the exact same. Could anyone shed any light on a solution for this?
I contacted Honor and their solution was to use their default Gallery app!
Used to be I would get an option to remove location information from a photo before sharing. I recently reset the camera settings and no longer have this option for new photos I've taken since. The setting to tag photos with location is on so what am I missing?
Camera was set to take pictures in HEIF format. I disabled that and can see the option to remove location when sharing.
Don't show that option for me in Android 12 beta 1. Can remember to saw that option on Google photos too but also disappear!

in the gallery type in details then modify and delete the location manually
Doesnt matter if you remove the tag or not.. its still captured in the pictures metadata so there is no point of doing it
