Before I bought the Snap I read that it could geotag photos but apparently it cannot. I've been looking around for applications that will allow geotagging photos but I have only found GPSToday and locr. Both won't work on the Snap/Windows Mobile Standard.
On this forum I have also found a trick with which you should be able to enable geotagging in the HTC Camera application by setting the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P9 to 1. I have tried this but it doesn't seem to be working either.
Does anyone know a way to geotag photos with the HTC Snap?
Edit:
Changing the P9 registry does activate the GPS Photo option but no GPS data seems to be added to the photo. I've started Google Maps with GPS activated to make sure enough satellites were found. Still no GPS data.
I've also noted that I don't get an "Initializing GPS" screen, does this mean GPS Photo won't work on the Snap?
Hi Folks, when I activate the geo tagging option at taking a picture, it shows a symbol on the screen and it could find a GPS signal. After taking a photo and importing that to google maps, no GPS data is shown. Someone expirienced the same problem ? Cheers D
Had the GPS symbol in the camera stopped moving? If not, it didn't have a GPS fix when you took the picture....
yes, the symbol changed to a kind of graticule (hope it is the right english word) on, so should be fine, but no GPS data after importing that to maps.
This happened to me as well but I uploaded the photo to Flickr & when I check out the picture details everything was there even the camera I used (T-mobile G2). I think they call this meta data & its part of a jpeg file that keeps information about the picture like thumbnails, sixe & dimentions etc.
Just a little bit annoyed that I cant use that data in footprints
thanks for your reply. I tried it with Flickr as well and it works for me as well. Strange that on google maps it doesn't work. Anyway, the GPS data are there, that's first step. Cheers D
Hi,
I use a stock HTC Sense UI with android 2.1. Is there a way I can upload a geotagged photo to Facebook while displaying the geotagging information for example in a small window beside the picture with google maps?
I know jack about developing for android, but here's how I think of it.
The app finds the coordonates on google maps for example. It takes a screenshot and using picture in picture it attaches the location to the picture. It just uploads the picture to facebook and that's it.
Apologies for the cross post with whirlpool, but I can not get an answer.
How can I get the camera to use the GPS to store location info in the photo EXIF header? I have looked at the photo header for a photo taken by my galaxy s3 and there is no GPS related data as opposed to a photo taken by an iPhone.
Can anyone provide any pointers to solve this issue?
Is it just me or does the geo tagging not work when taking pictures?
It should work. There has been any known/reported issue on that subject. If you check the photos uploaded to Google+ it should display them. However GPS/cell does need to be on and have a locked signal.
