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.
This is just wishful thinking, but if I put it out there, maybe someone will think up/know a way to make it happen:
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a way to pass a given Contact's address to the GPS app of your choice?
Does anyone think this would be something they could code, or know of an app that can do this? I'm not tied down to a particular GPS application, and would be willing to look at other Contact Management apps as well.
Cheers,
Magus1972
It seems that i was able to do this on my old blackberry with telenav installed so i don tsee why it would be that difficult to do it on a windows smartphone.
I use nav4all which enables me to do this easily. It's ram intensive, but works very well. I have been using it for months, actually and it has some very nice other features, such it's ability to recalculate your route if you take a wrong turn, etc.
Live search will do this
Doesn't TomTom do this ?
Tom Tom does this and I'm pretty sure google maps does this as well
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.
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?

I'm looking for a Map program that runs from my SD Card so that I don't have to wait for the maps to load.
Is this possible for googles maps?
What programs can do this? will they have location/GPS.. and/or touch zoom for the screen?
Let me know.. I'm looking for something badly (and I'm not familiar where to look/find programs like these). If GoogleMaps can.. then I'd be satisfied with that.. but if you've got something better... get it to me..

CoPilot runs fromt he SD card, but that's a $30 navigation program, not just mapping.
Is there any GPS programs that we can get for free?
I do lots of traveling sometimes in areas that have very limited or no cell service so programs like MS Bing and Google Maps don't work here. I eventually settled on Navigon which stores a completes set of US maps on the SD card and will work regardless of cellular coverage. It works really well and turns the HD2 into what you would expect from a dedicated gps unit. Only downside is the cost, it's $90 but then again you get what you pay for.
somebody's gotta have a hacked copy of one of these programs, or have developed one themselves.. all I was is what THOMPSD is talking about.. a map app (or program) that will run when I DON'T GET ANY SERVICE..
I travel a lot also, so I need something, but I'm not going to pay $90.. I'd just buy a GPS for that..
EDIT... error

This is not a warez board. Copilot is $30. Since google is apparently to much for you to handle two other options are Navicomputer and Opensteetmaps both available on XDA when you bother to do a search.

you don't have to be condescending. I obviously don't have as much experience or "know how" as a lot of you guys, hence the reason for my questions.
I don't see why I would need to buy a program to get maps installed on my SD Card so that I can view them instantly (without loading them from a network)... also, I didn't know what "warez" was (but I just googled it to make you happy).
I guess what I really would like, would be to have googles maps PRE-LOADED on my SD. I just want to be able to find my location if I'm out of cell service (or whatever provides the data used to load google maps).
Thank you guys so far for your recommendations. any other info, etc will be greatly appreciated.

Both of the apps famewolf mentioned above will come very close to that (and are free), they just use a different map source. The second one he mentioned is actually called OpenMobileMaps, but it does use the OpenStreetMap.org's database. Here's the link for that one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=597957
Now, I googled "caching google maps" (on the full 'net, not just xda), and the 3rd link that came up was this one:

I have no idea if it'll work on the HD2, but I think it's the closest possiblity available to exactly what you're looking for.
Also note that if you want stuff for free, you're going to have to do a little work. You will not find the easy installed, easy setup, works perfectly and exactly as you'd like it too apps that you can "sometimes" find in payware apps. With free apps, the more complex the app, the more fiddling and setup you'll have to do on your own.

My tone was sharp because you started out by asking for "hacked versions of these programs" and not for freeware/shareware. It's also generally considered polite to do a search via XDA first before requesting aid...you get even more help if you say "I did a search and found blah blah and blah but they are not giving me exactly what I'm looking for...anyone have more suggestions".
Another alternative that might work for you, but only if other folks are submitting map updates in your area is http://www.waze.com/
"Waze is a social mobile application providing free turn-by-turn navigation based on the live conditions of the road.
100% powered by users, the more you drive, the better it gets. "
Garmin Mobile Xt runs nicely from the 16gb card that came with my HD2. Preloaded the North American Map onto it and even some other bluecharts, hiking maps and a couple of EU cities.
Mobile XT uses the AGPS chip in the HD2 and picks up satellites fast. It stays connected farly well. Only thing it won't do is speak street names.

I'm not new to XDA or PPC, but new to GPS software, jargon, and usage. So forgive me noob question, but I've been reading for days and still a little confused. Features and limitations and jargon on all these sites gets overwhelming. Basically, I'm looking for a GPS software that runs from SD as well, but with 3 more important features/questions:
1. turn-by-turn voice navigation for car use
2. load offline topography maps for hiking, maybe even geocaching/tracking w/altitude, speed, distance, etc.
3. search engine or preloaded POI searching
I understand iGo, TomTom, CoPilot do the car nav and I understand Navicomputer, OpenMobileMaps, and Litetrack do the offline maps and geocaching, but is their an app that does both. I think from the above post z3Bum stated Garmin XT does this so i'm wondering if I missed the big picture and all the 3rd party GPS apps have ability to view and load offline apps and maybe even have geocaching and tracking with all the distance, altitude, etc. goodies. And if so, do the 3rd party apps allow you to load only their maps (if they have them) or can you use maps from other sources?
Do I have to use 3 different apps to achive this (Google Maps = search, TomTom = voice turn-by-turn, NaviComputer = offline geocaching/tracking) or can I do all this with one app? I've been reading and learning for hours and a couple of days now, so I might just be burnt out and everything jumbled, so I apologize if this is an dumb question, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks and hopefully I have not taken post to far off topic.
Edit: got Garmin Mobile XT and it does everything I need it to do. Had to use a little workaround found on XDA to allow me to view multiple maps with Mobile Xt (city nav maps + topo maps) and now I'm happy as can be.

It's nice navigation program. You have to pay for it. But google it, you will find it somewhere in a forum cheap
