Samsung i780 GPS and Camera run concurrently - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Anyone has the luck of getting both camera and GPS works at the same time just so you can tag a photo with it's GPS location in Samsung SGH-i780?
I know software like LOCr where you have to start camera application first then start the LOCr software in the background (this is the workaround for i780), but I'm hoping for a more complete solution, anyone knows anything here ?

me too, as far as I know there is only 1 way to take Gps taged photo with i780 is run the camera first and run LOCr software in background (you can assign a button to run LOCr software)
Hope some one can fix this issue

gps city walk application with movies and photos

Hi,
Probably this is a bit off topic but I have no idea where else to post it.
( so if you have suggestions)
Ok, I'm looking for an windows mobile application that can help me with making a city walk that must be viewable by regular computers and most recent mobiles.
So e.g. a camera application that add gps coordinates to the photo , a gps application with which I can add photo's and movies to the route ...
The complete system must in the end be able to interact with google maps. I understand that there will be a lot of extra programming work but I'm now busy with a first orientation . Anybody has any idea's ??
Rgds,

Trinity Camera & Flash

Hi everyone,
I was thinking about streaming Video & Audio from my Trinity, with the flash technology.
So I decided to make a simple test, I launch PocketIE and go to an old Flash Apps that I did developed on http://www.oxd.fr/snap/ .
It take a picture from a WebCamera and save it as a JPG.
The flash's loading successfully and shows the property panel, the microphone from the Trinity is detected (Yeah I can stream Audio!) but nether the camera (none of the two front & back).
I search on the Internet for someone who has already think about it but I couldn't find anything.
Does anyone here know something about it,
Would it be possible to code an application which could be a bridge between the Camera & Flash ... ? I don't know the software architecture of the WM6, & I'm a .NET Developer.
Any comment would be appreciate
Thanks for your help.

full config to use GPS photo

could please somebody publish the GPS full config that is working on the HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris)?
Thanks in advance.
- Use a registry editor and go to HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/P9.
- Set Enable from 0 to 1
- Soft reset your device
- start the camera and at the top left corner you can switch between photo, video, ..... You will see that there is a GPS option added also now.
Thats it.
Nice tweak!
Works like a charm...
Cool, once you have a GPS photo, then what can you do with it? What programs work with the GPS tag (Picasa, etc)?
u gotta have your gps on like tomtom for gps photo to work after u have config... it. because without your gps active the gps foto wont work. so what u do is while using your gps go to gps foto and take your pics

That's not true, when you select GPS Photo, it will initialise the GPS automatically, no need for TomTom or other external GPS software, well at least that what it does on mine. Also, I've just noticed, the GPS camera (whilst having a GPS fix) moves 'normal', more fluid, not like the normal camera option.

texarcana, thanks for the reply.
I have configure it following you procedure, have now the GPS photo as an option on the camera, the icon is showing GPS coverage with several green bars, take the photo, stored in 'My POI' as GPS_00X.jpg, open the folder and picture but NO GPS info written on it..!?!
Please help.
Thanks again.
and once you have a photo with GPS data in what you can use it for?
All the GPS Photo could be used in other softwares (like as PicasaWeb, Google Earth, Google Maps).
If you open a GPS photo you can not notice the difference...the only difference is visible with software that show you the EXIF information of a picture.
yeah, just like bonobox said. It is useful too, when for example you want to tag a place for your friends to find you. ie; you take a GPS photo of a key location, upload that to your friend, he looks it up on google earth, and he gets the exact coordinates of where you are.

The gps info is hidden (written) in the picture itself.
The whole meaning of the gps photo is geotagging. Making pictures that you upload to an application like google earth, flickr, .... so that you can share it with other people.
Maybe this article will make it better to understand
But can u use it with tomtom.
example: i am on the beach and i dont have a streetname so i take a GPSphoto of the place. can i use the tomtom for bringing me to that point?
thanks
If you can extract the Exif header information then you could enter the nav to using Lat/ Long in TTN6 but this is a lot of messing around, also if your lat/ long were a considerable distance from the nearest road the Naviagation software will fail to compute a route.
The best application for me to view pictures is Panorado Flyer from http://www.panorado.com/en/index.htm Assuming you use Google Earth you can open a Geo-tagged picture and it will show you where you were stood on the planet when you took it - Mike
Is there a hidden option to increase the "resolution" of the GPS data? I noticed that, when I opened a picture in Photoshop Elements, the GPS data only went to whole numbered seconds. When I stuck that rounded-off LatLong into Google Earth, it is off by a couple hundred feet.
I know greater accuracy is there, though, because both TomTom and Garmin report degrees to 5 decimal places.

Geotagging

Hi all
I want to use my Touch HD as a GPS logger when im on vacation and taking photos.
I want it to log my destination and then when i come home i want to be able to put these geocodes in the photos so i can remember exactly where every photo was shot.
Can anyone help me how to do it?
Not sure if this is what your after I downloaded HD Tweak which in the camera setting you can activate GPS camera then your photos will have that info embedded I tried this and uploaded them to Panoramio and it worked well.
Sorry dont have HD Tweak Cab but its easy to find through search.
Hope that helps
By the way if you select your SD card as the save destination in camera settings it is usually saved in My Documents/My POI

Thx for your help but it is not exactly what i want. I just want it to log my destination like this one.

I am taking pictures with my digital camera and then i want to syncronise my pictures (taken with my digital camera) with the destination from the GPS in my phone.
GPS Utilities does the trick
I'm using Efficasoft's GPS Utilities (http://www.efficasoft.com/gpsutilities/index_wm_sp.html) to log my track which works great.
Also, if you're in the UK and have OS Landranger maps on CD/DVD they come with a Pocket PC mapping software from Memory Map (http://www.memory-map.co.uk/pda_mobile.htm) which also logs your tracks (and shows them on a map, too).
You can use GPSCycleComputer to log your track with .gpx format,
which is free.

I use both on my biketrips.
- GPS Photo (needs a change in the registry). GPS data is saved to the EXIF info of the JPG file. Can be used with e.g. flickr.com
- GPX route, recorded with iGO8.3. You can watch your route in e.g. google earth.

GPS marker

Hello
I'm looking for GPS application that will allow me to save to file (or sth) my current position as a GPS dump (the same as VisualGPSce does). I don't mean logging path I'm walking but one particular point.
Can anybody help?
Every moving-map software should be able to do this, it's just setting a waypoint to the current coords. I use Pathaway 5, but there should be free alternatives.
Thx for the answer.
Yes, I know that every navi application can do things like that (it's called POI), but I need something faster, simplier - run, mark (yeah yeah, GPS fix, I know), quit
Have you tried footprints?
