I'd love to find a piece of s/w which runs on blue angel or similar, and will go round all the networks accessible at a point in space, and note/log/show the signal strengths
if it understood GPS and could label the results with a positioon, even better.
If it could email off the result, perfect.
Bit like netstumbler for GSM with reporting.
or the monitor program from
http://www.nobbi.com/monitor/index_en.htm
Anyone know of anything?
Have you looked at WiFoFum?
http://www.aspecto-software.com/rw/applications/wififofum/
The Radar mode is a neat hack, but there is a mini-netstumbler in there too.
sorry - I didn't make myself clear
i didn't make it claer I am looking for something to look for GSM networks.
( it was hidden in about line 7 :-( )

Even though the link was not what the original poster was looking for, it was exactly what I was looking for, when I did a search on here for net stumbler, (mini stumbler won't work on my HTC TYTN) So Thanks for the Link.
mini stumbler doesn't like my Trinity or Alpine either.
Hello all,
I have searched the forums and drawn a blank (have found some other useful things though). I am looking for a program that just displays GPS co-ordinates, speed and altitude in a very simple interface. I have tried WMminiGPS and really like it, but the altitude doesn't work. Can anyone recommend a similar program?
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone geo-tag their HD photos? I can't find a way to enable it in camera settings.
I had to download an app to enable it on my TyTNII.
Can't find anything by searching this forum or Googling
You can enable it with HDTweak, as far as i remember
Brilliant! Thanks
I have enabled the option in HD Tweak, and have even tried Shozu and locr, but even with a GPS lock, it doesn't seem to save the GPS data to the photo.
I'm using the Orange ROM, and don't really want to reflash it just to make this work with the hacked footprints tab, so has anyone got any ideas?
TIA
My problem is GPS doesn't start.
I've been using the free GPSToday (www.geoterrestrial.com) and their GeoTagger plugin which monitors your photo directory. When it sees a new file it tries to get a GPS fix and then embeds the location in the file. So far it's worked flawlessly.
Can you try uploading one of the photos it's tagged too google picasa to see if it can see the gps data and map the piccy please?
So far, these things tell me they are tagging them, but when you upload them, it's not tagged.
locr and shozu both work flawlessly on my N95, so I know the platforms and google picasa work.
I attached a GPS photo taken with my HD (bike trip with my girlfriend ) with the 'GPS-photo' option. I'm absolutly sure it has GPS info in it, because I upload all my pictures to Flickr, where they automaticly show up on the map at the right location. Good luck
*EDIT* When uploading a photo as attacment to the XDA forum, all GPS data is stripped. So here's a direct link to download the original file:

Just tried uploading one of my photos tagged with GPSToday to PicasaWeb and it's recognised the GPS data perfectly. Here's the photo
http://picasaweb.google.com/apcd2apcd2/Desktop?authkey=Gv1sRgCLr5tdy08-bb9wE&feat=directlink
Very simple but you have to edit the registry.
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
and set the value of "Enable" to 1
Thank you'll find a new camera mode in the standard HTC camera program that is "GPS". It activates and deactivates the GPS automatically.
Enjoy
Do you guys want to have gps info on all photos or what? I didn't get the point.
Touch HD Camera has a "GPS Photo" mode..which can be selected manually by going in to "advance" options in the "camera mode" .
right clicking on the image on windowsXP and checking the image property doesn't show the GPS info..but if opened with any other viewer..XNview..lightroom..photoshop.. in EXIF data u can see the GPS info.
so please tell me whats the point of using tweakers to enable GPS tagging? or i'm missing somethig

Not on some stock ROM images, such as mine.
I personally choose to use it because when I share photos online, with things such as Picasa Web, it shows people on a map where the pictures were taken.
No real serious use for me, but it's a little more info for people, and you can also view public galleries and it will display all pictures taken in a certain area.
EDIT: OK I found the option, everywhere I looked and in PM's people were telling me to look in advanced settings for this, it's actually an option on the 2nd page of "Capture Mode" and not in settings, or an advanced tab at all. No wonder I couldn't see it lol.

Yes, almost all m pics are taken on motorcycle trips. It's nice to be able to see where on the route they were made.

The tweak is necessary to enable the GPS photo button in the advance tab when using a stock ROM
How long does it take for you to take a photo this way? Mine just says "starting gps" and nothing happens. I even tried waiting 3-4 minutes, the time it takes Garmin XT Mobile to get the gps signal here, but nothing.
i get the point now! i bought blackstone with a diff language than i'm using ..and installed cooked rom straightaway.. so i didn't know the diff(to the minor details) b/w a stock rom and a cooked one. Sorry for taking things as granted!
thnx ppl for the info!

It takes about 10 to 30 seconds, depending on where I'm standing. It indeed should take about the same time as Garmin.
But 3 to 4 minutes is a LONG time for any GPS app to get a fix... If you get that working right, GPS-Photo will probably work fine too.

- Well, offcourse the obvious. Try it outside, with no high buildings etc. around you and that sort of things.
- Then, try to update QuickGPS with new satelite info (makes a lot of difference).
- DISABLE AGps. Does more harm then good.
- Maybe try a different radio. I'm using 1.12 and get very quick GPS fixes. Faster then 1.9 and 1.10.
Let us know how it turns out!
Anyone know any thing new on any effort to port Footprints to Blackstone? all posts are a bit old. there's a standalone that sorta works on Blackstone but the resolution is wrong so text is misaligned and its not very usable. anyone made any headway at porting it to a tab or at least a usable standalone? It would REALLY rock if anyone could port it to an manila v3 tab!!! i'd donate for the effort. sure many would!

I can't do that cause i still don't know how to backup the original radio. I would like to backup everything i need for warranty sake. I posted a thread here, but got no answers. I know it's all been explained here, but it's just too confusing. I know how to backup ROM, but i need to know what else i need to backup an HOW, before i flash a new radio and ROM.
The current device info is:
ROM: 1.14.479.3 (25874) WWE
ROM DATE: 11/12/08
RADIO: 1.09.25.14
PROTOCOL: 52.49a.25.26U
ExtPkg: 1.14.479.302

I did all you said, and nothing helped. However, i did notice this - i started Garmin, got a lock in a matter of seconds (after i did the fast GPS thing, so i'm guessing Garmin is using that), turned it off and geotagging worked instantly. So, i'm guessing camera has a problem using quick GPS or starting GPS by itself. Any ideas on this?
Hi folks,
I am wanting a decent GPS software for my touch diamond..
which one would you lot recommend?
thanks
I've heard google maps has gps support in settings, windows live has it, and if you want the kind when the lady talks to you you can get TomTom or iGo. Im sure there are more...
Whichever one you choose just remember to search for it, theres been tons of threads on how to get the specific app to work on the diamond properly.
thanks for the reply..
yes I meant sat nav to be precise lol
I have google maps on it but thats no good for me since I dont use and pay for the internet unless its my wi-fi at home, no good when im outside!
tomtom still the best would you say?
try GarminXT..works good..
TomTom= least amount of memory and ok visuals
IGo8=uses lots of memory but stunning visuals
Tomtom does the job!
cheers peeps,
I will try and see which one i can get hold of..
in the meantime, i found this link for the IGO8:
http://revver.com/video/992123/igo-8-htc-diamond-test/
it might be useful for those of you, like me, who wants to see how the sat navs are on the touch..
also, wats GarminXT like in terms of memory usage??

This is just a heads up to a great new app Flix by member jmbilings over in the Raphael forums. It will download all your local cinema listings from yahoo based on your postcode, gps position or city. It is working great but so far only UK is supported but more to follow I believe. Give it a look and post over there.
great idea, but for some reason when i go to my lcoation, it sticks on 'initialising GPS' anyone know why?

Hi there-
If it says that, you've clicked the "Where am I" button. This activates your GPS so that it will try and work out where you are, so if you were indoors it would never get a signal.
The GPS side is something I will enhance at some point, but for now you just need to enter your location (town or postcode) in the box above.
when i type in my postcode it doesnt find it!!!
please post screen shot.
