HTC TyTN with geotags in Camera working

Hello,
I've made some experiments and I've finally found a way to have an external GPS giving the coordinates to the HTC Camera software (geotags).

I will try to make an how-to if anyone is interested, but since I had to use HTC Camera 4.02 build 26156 and I've lost the possibility to use the flash - anyone knows more builds of HTC Camera software so I can try them?
Thanks

Very intersting go on and let us know.
Cab available?

Try this, I hope it can help you.

Thanks for the input, unfortunately I get an error of "not enough available storage" with that version, so I can't run it.
Here goes the changed CAB, please make sure other applications can see the GPS as an internal one so that the camera can see it too. This version also supports the front camera, but it will only work reasonable at lower resolutions
Your feedback is welcome.
Instructions and print-screens available on my blog, although the blog is in portuguese, the Pocket PC is in english, so the images can be used as a guide to the settings:

It worked well. Thank you
BTW Do you know how it can be used with Google Maps Mobile?

Under track location settings, it should work with "Set by Windows" but if it does not work, set it manually to the port COM5 and 9600 if you've followed all the instructions on my site to setup the internal GPS.

Thanks guys this isnt too bad, the colours are a little dark though in this version not sure if thats my imate hardware.
ive turned them all up but still looks a little on the dark side. i love the new options thought like the 6 step panoramas ... Very nice!!!.
will try the GPS out when i get home later.
just one thing with the GPS area i get this stupid error when it cant find a GPS, the error doesnt seem to go away and most of the other buttons wont work. any ideas on a quick fix for that?

Yes, I confirm that bug, it only occurs if you do not have the GPS connected, the work around is to press the red key (the one to refuse calls) and you can then use the tak manager to close the process. I may change the timeout to a shorter time, maybe it works better...

It works, go for the next step ;-)
It works, very nice, just plug&play simplicity. Good work.
But now what? After bringing the photo to my desktop, very deep in Adobe Photoshop i found the EXIF info with gps coordinates and timestamp. Exactly as you said, no problem.
Is there already functionality around that picks up this data? Suppose one could upload a photo with gps-info to something like google-mobile-maps and the photo get's mapped on the map as a poi or so?

i preaty sure flickr uses it.

xdaradar: you can use those photos on Picasa, or for instance on panoramio.com or locr.com - there are a lot of services where you can use geotags.

Thx Bull, panoramio works and so do your tags. Google earth detects the exif data correctly!
PIE has limitied functionality, it doesn't work correctly in the panoramio site when trying to upload files. Don't get the button to select photo's to upload.
Do you use this and how do you get the photo's uploaded mobile via your pda?

Thanks for the hard work This will be really cool.

great work! any luck on getting this to work while retaining the flash capability yet? thanks again.

awesome find

hi,
is it possible to uninstall this version and go back to original camera software ?
better, would it be possible to use 2 of them together ?
btw, there is a software named "locr GPS Photo" at locr.com.
does it have any disadvantages ?
thanks.

Yes you can uninstall, but it's always recommended to have backups. I've already mentioned locr on this thread, it's a nice program too.

thanks. what about possibility of having both the original camera app and the version which adds gps data at the same time ?

Totally incredible work dude!
I think this is one of the first app which make it possible to use the build in front camera However when I make a picture with the front camera it looks very broken.. Maybe you can fix that? I uploaded a newer version of the camera app for you. Maybe it helps.

Nav N GO iGO 8
8.0.0.54000
Sep 1 2008

I really love Igo 08.
- I only have one small question. - I live in Denmark, so almost no 3d buildings. So just to show of, I created a demo route in Berlin/London/Paris, so I could show them this new cool feature (3d building). But 3d buildings dosn't show in demo routes... Do any of you know why? (Or how to make these buildings show?)

Got this version already. Any changelog? as i can't see any major differences. Anyone seen real VGA skin ?

Just tried this out today and say I believe I like it better then tomtom. I especially like the next two turns displayed all the time on the screen. I also like that it displays house/building numbers on the map as well.
Me likes.

No US Maps I see
Do they plan to release US maps, or is this an overseas app only?

In the US, it is called OnCourseNavigator
http://www.oncoursenavigator.com

any gps with 3d maps and buildings for Los Angeles?? iGo stil doesnt have buildings for LA...at least not that i know of...

Is this a free app or do you have to purchase it? Also is there a map for Canada?
Thanks

They are on the SD card/DVD you have bought (I don't know in which form the diamond version will be shipped).
Stop asking for warez.
You cannot buy the software without maps!!
TDO

There is a file inside the contents folder called maps with the Basemaps file inside it but i still dont have any maps displaying om my device, I cant enter any addresses or postcodes or anything i just wanted to get another copy of that file to replace the old one with to see if that works or weather ill have to send the whole package back!

Fixed, i found a new maps .dbl (?) file and it works fine now

There were only 11 posts and the first post has a 'more info' link. The information was there, but you decided to post your qu estion anyway. Just wanted to say you should read before you post. (You just said you didn't.)
Please take a look at the link in the first post, because this software is realy worth it. And the linknet skin (ultraskin) you can find on the pdamill forum adds even more functionality!

Compass for what?!!? Google map?

Hi all,
when iphone came out with compass, I had Xperia, which has no compass. When I was using the google map I had to figure out if I am looking at it from the right orientation. I was pretty sure that when I get a phone with compass it would orient itself with the north and south, as it has a compass inside. Quite surprisingly, it does not!!! What does it do anyway?? The only thing I found that there are apps using them you can find north and south.
Right now I am using X10 with Android 1.6 (unrooted, well there is no root for it yet). Is there a way to enable compass in google map?? It haven't been thought off yet ? If yes, could someone tell me how to?
Thanks in advance
Bikram

It is there by default, actually it can't be disabled ;-) You could see your direction by looking at blue arrow (that which shows your location).

If I'm not mistaking I think I didn't have it by default. I thought I dloaded it through menu -> more -> google labs.
But chances are really tiny that brut.all is wrong.
Just thought I'd let u know for the tiny chance there is.

This isn't in the labs. Are you sure you have latest GM (4.2)? Are you sure your compass is working properly?

well on the last update of maps, i think google removed the compass support..
it was there in labs on the preinstalled version of maps...
i have a x10, so this is information about the x10..

I got the x10i and the blue arrow doesn't show me the direction at all.
I got the last GM.

I think not, because I have GM latest and as you can see I have this arrow. If it was in the labs section earlier, then they probably finished testing it and added as standard feature. This is purpose of labs: testing new things.
I think you should download some other app which use compass and see whether it will show you compass data.

I have the arrow but it doesn't show me the direction I am pointing towards

RMaps rotates map according to compass orientation
RMaps rotates the map according to the compass orientation, but it doesn't have navigation or much search.

Garmin Mobile XT - Auto Rotate & New Icon (G-Sensor Whitelist Cab)

Some of you may have Garmin Mobile XT installed on your Windows Mobile Phone. I created this cab which includes all the original TMOUS HD2 Whitelist registry entries and also the entries for Garmin Mobile XT to auto rotate. This works a lot better than installing another application on your phone.
For the New Garmin Icon:
Copy the picture to the Device Windows directory
And manually add the "Icon" key to the registry file:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Follow the directions above to change the icon.
The icon will look like this when finished:
OLD
NEW
Garmin Online - Panorama Photos work when you rotate your device (landscape).
1. Install cab to device memory.
2. Restart Device.
3. Launch Garmin Mobile XT
If you are going to distribute the cab or icon. Please link back to this thread.

Thank You. I just installed Garmin XT with 2011 maps.

Hey, senior garcia...I was thinking this thread might be good to reference somewhere in your famous sticky, yeah?

Done. Thread can now be found in my sticky.

2011 Maps
I'm running the latest Garmin Maps also. Auto rotate works great, if only I can get the navigation page to go up a few milimeters. Oh well its no big deal. Just good to have Garmin in landscape mode without having to install additional apps.

hello
I just installed white list or garmin xt and can't find the program to launch it
any where
help anyone

It does it on its own, no need to launch it. You do know that it doesn't install garmin xt? It just allows the program to flip to landscape mode.

Looks alot better than the old one.
Go to the 1st post for more information.

I have this installed but it doesn't stretch in landscape so it only covers half the screen. Do you have any ideas?

Flip to the other side
Are you serious. Surely it cannot be that easy, I'll admit I was new to cellphones at somepoint but that was when T-Mobile just came out and there name was Voicestream, back in Wichita, KS.
Offtopic. All I can say is it works fine on the HD2, should do the same on any other device with G-Sensor.
Rotate To The Left

doesnt work for me...i dont know what im doing wrong....still stay vert...help anyone? [FALSE ALARM: had to reboot twice ]

Awsome
Glad you got it working.

Garmin Mobile XT to auto rotate HTC HD2 near perfect
Thank you, your work and my limited understanding as a new user of Garmin Mobile XT now has me running a satisfactory short cut, new Icon and G-Senor rotation.

No Problem
Glad to help, I have to share what I have found, tweaks, etc. I've done alot of reading, and some of it is trial and error, looking at how other programs perform etc.

It says: "Follow the directions at the link above to change the icon.", but there's no link???

I meant follow the directions above.

Is it free
Hello i have been looking free nav softwares and i run in to this.
Is this really free? some places the say its free but you need some key gen generator or something.
So whats the real answer and if it is really free where and how do i install it because i have been searching some installation quides but there is no good one.

Not Free
Garmin Mobile XT is not free. If you are looking for a free GPS Software, you might want to get Google Maps or Bing Maps. Using a keygen to crack software is illegal.

igo8

Hello. Any solution for igo8 for desire? thanks

Try MOTONAV. It uses same Igo maps.

For some reason Motonav wouldn't let me enter house number on some streets when latest TeleAtlas map is used. When I try the same street on iGO (with wrong resolution of course) I can enter house number. Any ideas?

Happens to me too. Change the map to some other one...
For now, as far as I know, the ONLY good gps navigation for our Desire is MOTONAV...
Good luck.

Only? Whats wrong with Sygic,I think its ok. Like igo8 too on my wm

I would but Teleatlas maps have best coverage and least mistakes compared to Navteq and Regio (local map maker). At least here.
Before I thought Motonav is equal to iGO (Android version). Too bad it's not true. I hope Nav'n'Go will sort this out soon.
P.S. Is there a working map changer for Motonav? Now I just manually rename map files to switch between them.

Some innovation?

I have iGOMyWay_8.4.2.124036 ( not Motonav ) installed on my Desire and working fine. It's not like iGO 8 but better than Motonav.

you have it working on full screen...?

there are iGOMyWay_8.4.2.139242 for the desire out there, mine is full screen and working perfectly, including the speedcam POI's.

Warez is forbidden on xda forums. Go to the official site and buy iGo.

Sorry for mistake because I don't use it any more, but it's iGOMyWay_8.4.2.139242 and not 8.4.2.124036
and I had to install it again .
In my opinion, the iGOMyWay is not near as good as iGO8 which I have on Win.Mobile, so I use CoPilot on Desire.
Here are some photos .

I have installed igo8 on the desire and it looks ok but I can't use it because the program doesn't respond right to the touch. I touch at one place and it either doesn't respond or something else (a lot higher on the screen) is chosen instead.
anybody knows how to fix this?
thanks

It has worked on my phone without problems with maps, pois and the whole package. Full screen.

Thanks for the reply but I know it works for most ppl. I'm asking if anyone encountered my problem and know how to fix it.

there are different versions of igo8. if you download for a smaller or bigger resolution u cant use it. download igo8 480x800

thanks.
i installed that version. i tried for fun all the others but they were even worse because not only they didn't respond well but they werent full screen.
i know only of one more guy with desire that has the same problem.
