Photo Navigation?

It says in Dopod website that the Dopod D810 has GPS format, with embedded coordinates in the picture and a built-in exclusive photo navigation software, where one knows the exact location of the photo and easily navigate to that location.
Any other information on this photo navigation software?

I tried to find this built in software, but no success.

Camera -> last item on left upper corner (camera with cross). Whether this you're thinking...?

i m also looking for the same info, i was able to get the gps photo function working and took pictures with active gps connection. problem is now i dont know what software to use the photos with.

I used Picasa (freeware) to view the GPS coordinates of the photo I took.
You'll need to import the file into picasa, go to picture -> properties and scroll down to the gps coordinates.
A bit clumsy to use however - if anyone knows a more succint way (program) of accessing the data I'd be keen to hear of it.

Use Irfan View
Better use the freeware Irfan View (www.irfanview.com). It has a button in the picture proporties dialog to jump right to Google Earth to show you the place where the GPS photo was taken.

irfanview works fantastically for this... cheers!

Thank you. I downloaded and installed Irfanview, it is a nice software, but I cant find the mentioned button in the picture properties dialog. Is it Irfanview version 4.0?
There are only 5 buttons in the picture properties window (keyboard shortcut "I"): Change resolution, Exif Info, IPTC info, Comment and OK.

Changing TF3D Photos and Videos album location

Hey
I want to store my photos and videos on my storage card. I have changed this setting in the advanced menu on the camera settings but now i can't see them when i flick through the photos on the TF3D photos and videos screen.
Is it possible to change the folder location settings so that it shows my photos on the TF3D screen?
Mark

Hi There,
You can store your photos on yoru storage card then go to TF3D photos and select Album - then select Albums - you should have the option to select your Storage Card now (sometimes you have to select Albums twice for the storage card - probably just read time).
Select the album you want to appear on TF3D and open it. Then click Menu and select Set Album as Favourite.
Your selected album now appears on TF3D - what i tend to do is make a compilation album of my favourite photos for TF3D and make that my favourite - then i have my normal albums on my storage card.
Hope this helps.

On a similar subject, is there anyway of storing more 'personal' photos elsewhere which are not viewed in TouchFlo 3D? Also, is it possible to password protect certain folders?
I have not used a WinMo device before

Thanks, that was great! I appreciate it...

On the Same note, I'd like to change where the Videos are stored. I don't like them placed into the same folder as the picutres.
Is it just a reg entry?

Use Total Commander, select the 'sensitive' pictures and set them to hidden on their properties. You could make a new directory, call it Dodgy Pics (or whatever). Paste your sensitive material into the new directory, select all and set them to hidden, then hide the directory too!
(will only visible using Total Commander or Resco, etc)

You could put 'em in an encrypted zip file.

use file explorer or sync from your computer and make a SD CARD VIDEOS folder or whatever you wish to name it. This folder and subfolders will show up in Album - Albums view

Any way to change the resolution of Contact pictures?

When I receive a call or browse through the contacts in the People tab, the pictures are pixelated and rubbish resolution. I've tried replacing them with higher resolution images but to no avail.
Can anyone help me?

Copy the high res photo to your hd and then assign it to a contact. Don't use the image added within outlook. Once you activesync it will replace the image on the server with the new one.

There's also another way, which is by assigning the photo for each contact from HTC Album. As simple as that, when you do that, the resolution from the picture gets improved as the other suggested method!

btw. wat is the square size of the contact pics??

256 X 256 pixels

I took a picture with my HD and applied the same image to my contact and the image is rubbish and pixelated.

It'll never be perfect but by assigning a 256x256 image to a contact through TF3D will give you the best results.

comandersnake instructed you with the simplest way:
1. take a picture, even with 5mpx resolution
2. open album
3. find the respective picture
4. open it
5. pres the pictogram from the lower right corner
6. chose option "save to contact"
7. assign to desired contact
et voila! it works like a charm! you don't have to worry about resolution, dimensions, correction or other things
succes!

This doesn't work with the recent roms from NRG as the whole 'save to contact thing' doesn't work.
Anyone have an alternative method?

Better Picture
Hi !
I think alot of people have the same problem. I maneged to get it in hires when i choose the same picture twice, then it works.
Try that
Regards MacRoy

you can also use s2v to do the same thing..
outlookchas always been the culprit forvthe lores pics, 2007 version doesnt do it anymore, it must allow bigger image files..
in the "newer roms" there should be facility built into the contact app.
try assigning ho you want to assign a pic to as a favourite thrn press right hand soft key to assign a new pic. you can always get rid of them as favourites after

Do either of you use microsoft my phone? If so it may have backed up your pictures then copied them back after rom upgrade creating 2 copies of them all? Only thing that springs to mind.

i think may be album cache is the reason after folder content changing. try reboot your device.
update:
touch albums. touch albums again. you will see 2 first options: "all" and "camera shots".
if you choose "camera shots", you will see duplicated photos.
if you choose "all", you will NOT see duplicated photos.
so, choose all for your comfort.

i do this i select all but when i exit album and i entering album again then i see all photos and videos twice again :S
sorry for my english

hi yeaks,
try this way:
after you select "all", touch "menu" then touch "set album as favorite". you will see an infor box appeared saying that "... has been set as your favorite album. you can go to the photos & videos tab on home to view the album". you have done.
you can choose another folder to be your favorite also, except "camera shots". seem duplicate issue appear only with this option.
so, choose everything you want BUT NOT "camera shots".
if this works for you, please confirm.
good luck.

thanx for your reply
i chose set album favorite, but, when i exit albums
and i entering albums again the problem is still going on...

See thread here, same problem there, no solution though. Someone there posted that this is happens when you change the language in manila, dunno if its true or not.

thanx bro im waiting for a fix

Hi ALL
Try to navigate to My Device\Application Data\HTC\HTC Album and delete cache files.than if you have Total commander or Resco Explorer in the folder which is showing you dual files delete Album Cache file.but it is hiden file that's why you need advanced browser to be able to see them.
as far as i can remember this has solved this kind of problem for me some time ago.
and maybe Soft Reset...

the solution is there

hmmm. it looks strange.
let's try again.
when you choose album folders the menu will display 3 parts like that:
part 1:
all (xxx)
camera shots (xxx)
part 2:
my device
graphics and sounds (xxx)
my wallpapers (xxx)
part 3:
storage card
100media (xxx) (this is folder storing photos shoted by your camera)
for example i choose 100media then i will see photos thumbnails. then i touch menu then "set album as favorite" then ok. then back to home today screen. now when i return to photos & videos tab touch albums i will see "100media" in the left top conner of the title bar. DO YOU SEE THE SAME ?
i have tried all folders. for me just only folder "camera shots" get wrong. even in the folder list the number of photos on this folder exaclty the same number of photos on "all" folder.
someone said about manila language. this may be an issue.
just my 2 cents.

I've the same problem
Is it possible to change the default folder "camera shots" every time that i'm opening the album?

"hi yeaks,

change default caller/contact photo

Hi,
i want to change the default caller/contact picture but cannot find what to do.
already searched....no answer found
changed cc_default.bmp...didn't work
any ideas ? please

change photo for a contact
Fairly easy to do...
Select the contact whose photo you want to change.
Select 'Edit Contact'
Select the small photo icon (right hand side of the bar that contains the text 'Edit Contact Card') in the top right of the edit contact screen.
You will get the options to use FB Profile pic, Outlook photo, Phone album photo or take a new pic with camera.
Hope this helps.

i think you actually mean change the default image it uses, correct? the grey silhouette?
ifso, look at the images "avatar-x.png" in the windows folder.

ooops...
Misunderstood the question...sorry guys

YYEESS...that does it ! Thank you )
