I tried to get into geotagging my pictures and I have to say that I'm very disappointed by the Footprints software.
What's with the resolution of the pictures taken by Footprints? There are only thumbnails in the AppData/HTC/HTCFootprints/thumbnails folder. Why doesn't the software take the pictures at full resolution like the camera? Or are they stored elsewhere? This was the only place where I could find pictures.
I copied them to my PC only to see that the pictures don't contain any GPS info. Apparently they are only saved in the Footprints database and not in the pictures themselves (EXIF...)! That is completely useless!
Is there a way to use the normal camera to add geotagging?
Sure, there is a "GPS Photo" mode in camera settings. Just hit the camera icon and chose the propper mode.
hmm u can open ur camera
click the middle icon for capture mode and click next
there a mode call GPS photo..
maybe that will help u
Oh, thanks, that explains a lot.
Nevertheless I agree with the author, this is stupid not to have a full resolution version of the pictures taken with footprint. You basically need to take 2 pictures : one for footprint and another one for your PC ! this is insane and i'm sure it would not required a lot of modifications to get this thing work properly.
I think, that footprint was originaly intended as fast mobile service, how to inform your friends, where you are. Therefore taken pictures are small, ideal for MMS and e-mail.

Hi there,
I have just taken up photography properly and would like to record gps locations.
ive seen the locr app but that wants you to take a picture then tag it.
As i use a digital slr i would like an app i can just click "capture gps loc" and it records it to a file, say along with a name of the location, i can then tie this up with my pictures and use locr client on pc to match them up.
anything like this exist?
if not i'll get an all in one geotagging unit, but i cant find them in the uk.
I have created different folders to store different pictures. But on this X1, when want to browse the pictures, it will show all of them in one place. It is not like the Touch HD, I get to choose from my storage card and select the folder name for my pictures. Does anyone know the trick ?

I'm having exactly the same issue and and looking for a solution.
quick solution : use another viewer software, or the default windows viewer.
Is there another viewer software, wich running without bugs or lagging?
It should offer the sliding switch function like the iphone or the standard viewer from X1. I mean the picture switch without pressing a button - just sliding with your finger over the display..
Thanksss
Resco photo viewer is the best one out there, not sure if its touch friendly though
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.
Hi all,
I noticed that if I add a pic to a contact in Outlook 2007 I get a failry low res image on the TD2. However, if I add an image directly on the TD2 I get a fantastic resolution image on the TD2 which also seems to transfer to Outlook.
So, for the best quality pics use the TD2 it seems. However, this is annoying as all my images are on my PC. Is there a way to bump the quality in Outlook to the same as the TD2 - it can obviously handle it as it shows the images from the TD2 entered contacts great.
Ideas???
R
Had the same problem on my TD1, but haven't found a solution yet. I'm looking into it and will let you know if I find a solution.
EDIT: Seems like this is a Outlook problem..... http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP100137791033.aspx
is it not resolved yet??
note: it is not low quality. That's the problem, it's high quality and the phone tries to show everything and pixels go one over the other.
I just think so, but as a reason, I owned a SE K750i and copied a 2MB photo on it. When I tried to look at it, it would be pixelite and when zoomed, it looked okay.
Just a guess . And i know Topaz is no SE, but still ...
The solution is to import the pictures on the phone and not in Outlook and also not update the photo's in Outlook. Always from the device. Its an Microsoft Outlook issue since ever.
When you reinstall your phone and sync it you get also the good pictures, but not when you edit the contact picture in outlook
yes. That is the solution
Me too discover the problem adding the contact picture directly in Outlook.
So I did different test and, of course, it's better add pictures directly from the TF3d contact manager.
But, if the picture is too big, you get a selection square box for choose the face area, and many times the face is still bigger the area.
So I found that, at least for me, the best way is to edit the pictures on the PC to get a final jpeg file of 266x266 pixel to be choosen in TF3d contact manager.
Just use the zoom scroller to resize the box
R
dho!
I tried to resize the square box directly on the corner and on the edge....
And the solution is so simple...the ZoomBar !!
Thanks !
P.S. I tried, the box doesn't change the size, it is the image that zoom so you can center the contact's face !
It's so much simple than my way.
I usually use high quality crops of 250x250p and both Outlook and Manila display them pretty well.
The problem is with resizing mechanisms and their side effects. If you provide high quality image, then you minimize resizing impacts.
Is there any registry tweak that will allow you to zoom in closer with the album viewer software. It works great for the files I view but I need to be able to zoom in much more than it allows
Thanks
Mike
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can zoom in as far as the resolution of each image allows. I have some pretty high-res photo's (taken on a digital SLR) and I can zoom in on them until I start to see pixels. If you have low-res pics, you'll start seeing pixels much sooner.
Zooming in any further would be useless since it can't add any detail, you'll just see pixels the size of Lego blocks.
Edit: I realize you may want to examine an image pixel-per-pixel for some reason. In that case, sorry, I can't help.
Thanks for your response, If I could zoom in that close it would be great. I have some hi resolution files anywhere from 6-10 MB which open fine but I can only zoom in about 3 levels. If I could go to the level you describe, it would more than meet my needs.
Hm... Maybe there is a limit after all. I must admit I haven't tried any files in the 10mb region.
I've taken a quick look in the registry but I haven't come across anything that looks like it might solve this. Sorry.
I looked in the registry too but couldn't find any reference to HTCalbum at all. Guess I'll just have to start trying all the demos of the photo apps again...
There's a bunch of stuff under 'HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum'. Maybe you can find something I overlooked there.
Thanks, don't know why Resco didn't find that ref, I thought it scanned all directories. I couldn't find anything there either. I did change a dword from 2 to 3 in wheelzoomin frames but that didn't do anything obvious so I changed it back. Wonder if HTC support might be able to help, I've read that they're quick to respond to customer software issues but since this is more of a preference issue vs buggy software they may not offer up much.
Yeah, today I copied a 78 mega pixel image (actually a map) to my Leo and to my surprise, I can't zoom more than a certain amount in HTC Album. Anyone know a fix for this?
use resco photo manager, that one allows you to zoom in much more than the htc album. The newest version also supports multi-touch!
thanx! Tried resco; I'm flattered how they implemented multi touch this soon! only a month and a half after Leo's release.
It's really nice and fast (even faster refresh time than htc album) but I wish u could disable multi touch rotation. It's constantly confusing pinch with rotation.
