Is there a possibility to include GPS coordinates to A500 photos (during shot) ? Although GPS is locked, built-in application does not include gps coordinates to jpg exif. Is there some option to enable it ? There are some GPS tags in exif, but gps latitude and longitude is missing. Should I use different app to make photos with GPS coordinates ?
I'm guessing you just watched the news on t.v. or seen it on the internet. And seen where all the people was tracking peoples personal photos then?
Mine works fine if you have the option enabled in settings. "Location and Settings" and use GPS satellites. When you switch to the camera you will see the little compass and it blinking.
I don't know what TV news do you mean. Recently I've upgraded my phone HTC Tattoo to CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 and the built-in Camera application now includes GPS coordinates every time I make a photo (of course with activated GPS module.) That's why I tried the same with my A500.
Whenever I activate GPS and start Google Maps, GPS icon is bliking. It's OK. But when I start Camera application, GPS icon disappear. Why ?
After you have turned on gps satellite, start camera app and touch the wrench icon and then turn on store location. You should see a blinking compass icon in notification area
I use czech user interface and this option is bad translated ! There is something like "Repository" instead of "Store Location". I turned it on and compass icon starts blinking in notification area and after shot GPS coordinates are included in exif now. Thank you !

on the top of the screen that status bar.... i had an icon of a satellite with 3 "radio waves"going away from the satellite never seen this icon can't find it in 6800 or mogul user manual?
any ideas?
on verizon dcd 3.0.1
EDIT:
also notification tab popped up but it would do nothing if i tried to select it or the icon...
i assume my phone was sending information because the bars were going away from the satellite.... not a comfortable feeling..

could it have been a data connection Icon? like the WiFi and the regular data connection at once?
Who knows you might have an application that has a setting to get frequent data updates. such as quick gps, push email, HTC HOME Weather.........
Because I believe DCD removed the customer feedback option from his roms so it couldn't be that.
I believe that is the QuickGPS update notification... Do you have QuickGPS? If so, look in the options and see if it is set to show you when it is needing an update.
it could have been something like a data connection however it's nothing i've ever seen.
i do have quick gps but i have all the options unchecked.. i update it myself. only "automatic" thing i have is email but you would think with the amount of email i get it would have show the symbol before..
i only found one other instance of it last night and someone said it happened to them on PPCgeeks

Could it have been started up when active sync initiated it self?
or even the location on or Voice Privacy Icon? Sounds like this is a weird buggy issue. I havent seen a satellite Icon here, but i have seem some small things here and there.
update: maybe it is something of an update that has been sent from your provider?

once it came up and i couldn't get it off i just soft reset and it didn't come back... however i could draw it... j/k i've searched the internet high and low.... can't find anything similar i'm going to go through the quick GPS file and see if i can find that icon inside it.
The satellite icon has to do with QUICK GPS
This icon shows up when ever your coordinates that where downloaded expire. Then all you have to do to remove it is update QUICK GPS by downloading your coordinates again.
Here is a screen shot on my ppc of how the icon looks.

On my Google maps I would like for the map to be oriented in the direction I'm travelling. (So the map turns while I turn)
So I'm always driving toward the top of the screen. As it is now sometimes it shows me driving sideways or down. It's easy enough to do on my Garmin, but I can't find a setting for this on my Google maps, I'm using a MyTouch3G by the way.
Also one other question. I'm using the new 3.4 version and I noticed when I had the 'Compass' on, the map didn't move while I was driving, and I would drive off the screen till I pressed 'My Location' to recenter the map.
Anyone else notice this?
I turned off the compass, and the map movement returned to normal with the map moving around me, and me centered in the map.
Every time I've used the navigation of Google Maps the map always moves around me so I'm always traveling "forward." Although, I don't believe I've ever had the compass turned on in my maps. If I remember I'll test on the way to work and check back.

Thanks!
But there's two different things. I didn't try navigation today, maybe if I had nav on it would orient the way I like it.
The problem with me driving off the map was just with compass on though.
When I had compass off the map would scroll, keeping me in the center, but the orientation was North always up, I'd rather have 'heading' up even with navigation off.
Ah, I don't believe I've ever had "heading up" outside of nav before. I'll just play with the compass and see what happens haha
Tried it out....here are my results:
Normal map with compass: no "heading up" display, the compass never showed up either, but my map did scroll keeping my location in the center.
Normal map without compass: still no "heading up" display and the map kept my location in the center.
Nav with compass: this was displayed with "heading up" and it also showed a compass with it (of course scrolling with my progress).
Nav without compass: no different than above...still had a compass even.
Adding and removing the compass was done through "Spare Parts" on my phone.

Thanks Sleeve, nice work. I used Nav tonight and had heading up also. Are you using the new 3.4 version? It has 'compass' in it's menu. Doesn't show a compass, just directs the arrow even when you're not moving.
How to bookmark locations?
Well using nav a little more today, and found another question if anyone knows the answer.
I'd like to be able to save locations, like my house, and various addresses. To something like favorites or bookmarks. But can't find any place to do that. I can find locations easily enough with the map or just typing in, but how to save them for future use?

Search Text list vs. icons.

Got it.
Now I ran into something else. A few days ago when I'd search for 'Walmart' it would give me a text list of the nearby walmarts with address and I could pick which one I wanted from the list.
Today it is just giving me red pushpins on the map, not a list. I can still find the one I want by scrolling the map 'IF' I know where to look. How do I get the option for a text list back?
Thanks.
hit the list icon on the lower left corner

Ah, so thats why my little navigation dot wasn't a dot anymore, it was an arrow haha. Either way it kept me in the center at all times.
I finally got a phone mount in my car so I can use my N1 as a GPS. It's great! Except I've noticed one thing. If I use google maps without setting a destination, there's no night mode. It's blindingly bright!
Assuming there's not something stupid I'm overlooking, I made a ticket on code.google.com about this issue. If you'd like to see it implemented, please star it so it gets bumped up in the list of issues.
My Ticket: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6758
List of issues: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
Bump - please star to help out. Thanks to those who did!
Uhm...maybe it only activates if you go through the Car app. Not sure tho...
As far as I can tell, night mode only activates if you're in "Navigation mode" (you set a destination - you see the splash screen "Google Navigation Beta", etc.) I want them to add a night mode for the normal GMaps. Star if you want it too.
Ooh...it'll be my first star on any forum! thanks
Someone sent me a picture with their iphone and when I went to properties, I got an option "show on map" which records the GPS position on googlemaps of where the photos was taken. This is the first time I have seen this! Can someone expalain how your own photos can show the GPS position of where photo was taken using goolge maps. When I go to my own photos , I do not find the option "show on map" under properties.
Thanks
It's easy with an HD2. In the camera select GPS-photo instead of Photo. Wait for the fix and 'click'. Now you have to option to open google maps when watching the photo in your album.
Hi everyone who reads this, So I did my 4.3 update and now I notice the blue triangle Navigation Icon is missing, OK I might be slow here but how do I do Navigation now ? I can go into Google Now and say "Navigate to ......... " and it works, but before the 4.3 update I would turn on the navigation app and show my location on the map as I drove and t would give me traffic info etc, I can I get that back without specifying a location I am going to ? Sometimes I just want to see a map I don't want directions, like going to work, I just want to see traffic flow etc, yes sometimes I use Waze sometimes I use Google Navigation. I hope I am clear here, thanks.
They merged it all into one in maps so of you want to navigate turn on GPS and open the Google maps type in destination then on bottom right should say navigate

I thought that they might of merged into maps just not sure how to navigate, thanks for the info I will look into it .
Its confusing at first but play around with it. Type in destination in the search bar, then bottom right will show a car click on that car it'll pop up a list. Choose the desire fastest time to get to the location click on it then it'll bring you back to maps but now the bottom right should say navigate press on that and it should be on navigation

I've just updated to 4.3 and I have a Tasker task that open the Navigation app and despite there beig no navigation app on the phone, it still works.
It's indeed possible to still have the navigate shortcut working. I don't know how you should do it manually, but I did a nova launcher restore after upgrading to 4.3 and got the shortcut icon back. Still working fine, can enter a 'from' and 'to' and select the 'car', 'train', 'bike' and 'walk' method.
I think Navigation was always a part of Maps, not a separate apk, now just no separate icon.
It was weird how they came out with several updates over a couple weeks and how they tweaked the interface. First they let the Nav and Places icons stay. But then on a subsequent update they deleted them.
It's also weird how when you search for a destination you want to Nav to, you never know exactly how Google is going to present the Nav steps to you, huh?
What's really annoying is the decreased functionality of the Local/Places part of Maps. Way harder to get to and way less useful info.
About the only thing I like better in the new version of Nav is more accurate arrival time (but Waze still better), complete list of previous destinations, and switchable arrival time, minutes left and miles left.
But, you can't get to Local without quitting Nav, and Nav no longer clearly displays the name of the street you are traveling on. It always used to be listed at the bottom of the screen.
Sorry to resurrect this dead thread but I just had the same issue with the latest (11/5) maps update and I too lost the navigation icon. Here is how I got it back:
Note that I am using Nova launcher but might be the same on yours:
1. Find empty location on the home screen and press for a second or so until "Add to Home screen" appears
2. Select "Shortcuts"
3. Select "Activities"
4. Scroll down until you find "Maps", click once to expand the list.
5. Select "Navigation"
And that should be it.
