I was wondering if anyone else has had problems or found a way to geotag pictures taken with their camera. I'm running Darkstone's Hd2Froyo build and have my GPS enabled (even see it on the bar at the top) and have location logging turned on in the camera app.
But sadly after I take pictures and go to look at the details, it always shows unknown location.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Before I bought the Snap I read that it could geotag photos but apparently it cannot. I've been looking around for applications that will allow geotagging photos but I have only found GPSToday and locr. Both won't work on the Snap/Windows Mobile Standard.
On this forum I have also found a trick with which you should be able to enable geotagging in the HTC Camera application by setting the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P9 to 1. I have tried this but it doesn't seem to be working either.
Does anyone know a way to geotag photos with the HTC Snap?
Edit:
Changing the P9 registry does activate the GPS Photo option but no GPS data seems to be added to the photo. I've started Google Maps with GPS activated to make sure enough satellites were found. Still no GPS data.
I've also noted that I don't get an "Initializing GPS" screen, does this mean GPS Photo won't work on the Snap?
Hi Folks, when I activate the geo tagging option at taking a picture, it shows a symbol on the screen and it could find a GPS signal. After taking a photo and importing that to google maps, no GPS data is shown. Someone expirienced the same problem ? Cheers D
Had the GPS symbol in the camera stopped moving? If not, it didn't have a GPS fix when you took the picture....
yes, the symbol changed to a kind of graticule (hope it is the right english word) on, so should be fine, but no GPS data after importing that to maps.
This happened to me as well but I uploaded the photo to Flickr & when I check out the picture details everything was there even the camera I used (T-mobile G2). I think they call this meta data & its part of a jpeg file that keeps information about the picture like thumbnails, sixe & dimentions etc.
Just a little bit annoyed that I cant use that data in footprints
thanks for your reply. I tried it with Flickr as well and it works for me as well. Strange that on google maps it doesn't work. Anyway, the GPS data are there, that's first step. Cheers D
BSB and XT Hack both have options in them to activate these hidden camera modes, but none of the modes actually work. Burst and Sports don't work at all and the geotag on the GPS photos doesn't show the correct position when you right click on the photo in Album and select 'Show on map' - on my phone it is at least 30 miles to the east in every instance.
Has anyone found a way of making these modes function correctly (i.e. later camera drivers) or are they all disabled by default as there is no way of making them function properly?
I'm running with Steve and Miri's latest Elegancia v8.0 ROM (2.13 base) so should have the latest camera drivers already.
My setup shows the location of photographs properly. I have installed the latest version of Google Maps.
I wondered if this worked for me because I live near 0° longitude but then took pictures in France that were located correctly too.
If there's anything that I can check or send to you that might help, please let be know.
I just noticed today that I am having problems with taking pictures with my phone. At normal zoom the pictures come out fine but as soon as I zoom in any at all I get a shadow box on the right side of the final picture when I look at in the picture galary. The pictures look fine until I actually open them to full view.
I am using MAGLDR, Daekin Sense of eclipse, with HierOS 1.8.3 Kernel.
Stock HTC camera with no special settings other than the zoom. the pictures even have the issue when I transfer them to my computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you try other camera apps?
Apologies for the cross post with whirlpool, but I can not get an answer.
How can I get the camera to use the GPS to store location info in the photo EXIF header? I have looked at the photo header for a photo taken by my galaxy s3 and there is no GPS related data as opposed to a photo taken by an iPhone.
Can anyone provide any pointers to solve this issue?
