Photo + GPS

[mrsmart]

May be someone had notice already (please delete this thread if someone posted already :p ).

After I patched the new GPS enabled Traditional Chinese ROM in my D810(Trinity). I found that, there is a new option in the camera which can take photo with the existing GPS position. But because I am in office at the moment, I will try it out later, or may someone help to test it?

[fandre]

It doesn't work for me. When I choose this option it says: Cannot initialize GPS device.
I tried it in both situations. GPS with, and without satellites acquired.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
FMA

It is because your gps setting's.

Add that in your registry.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings]
"Hide"=dword:00000000
"Group"=dword:00000002

Or download that and rename it to Gps-set.reg and after with your fvorite registry editor add to your reg, soft reset and after go to settings connectios and set the gps to programs = gpd8 and in the other tab com9!

After try the photo gps to see if work.

Hi ,

It still doesn't work.
1 - Is there a need for a special software?
2 - What is this photo GPS? What will I be taking photos of?

Thank you,
FMA

You take photos of whatever you'd normally take them of, but the unit saves the location of the photo inside the file, presumably as EXIF data.

Then you upload it to Flickr, which is aware of such, and if you publically share it other users will be able to get access to it through a location-based query.

Aha, now I understand.

Thank you very much!

PS: But it still doesn't work... :-)

[yegor]

I have the same problem. My program port is COM9 and hardware port is disabled. The only way I could get GPS to work.

[jaysandkays]

I have the same problem where if I choose that mode of the camera I get the error message dialog box that you guys mentioned...

"GPS
Cannot initialize the GPS service."

The dialog box has a "Done" button to push but that is unresponsive. I have to select the front camera mode (for video calling) to back out of this error state.

Is this what everyone else experiences?

Is there someone who is not experiencing this problem and can they explain what they have done to enable this function?

Thanks

[tower5]

after upgrade my p3600 works perfectly and it has also this new feature-...

but , in practice , after having done a "gps photo" , how can I see these additional parameters?

not in "proprietY" of the file

maybe I need a particular SW to see and manage this data?

thanks for any help !!

[lomax]

Use Picasa & Google Earth :)

I check (add) these settings but I don't get any option in the cam to add geo data on my picture.
I used the last release of the FRENCH "Orange" ROM with GPS working.
The GPS works great but the cam software seems to be not supporting the GPS. :(

:( Yeah same here. Registry updated soft-reset done etc and still the unresponsive dialog box.

Using the Dopod 810 ROM. The second one I think.


<edit>
......... actually I take it back, as soon as I set the GPD8 parameter it tries to initialise :) Thanks.

[chiman]

Can someone upload the cab file for the Dopod camera in which the GPS Photo is enabled?

[sanchezj]

Here is...

Thank you very very much!

[craftyb]

If you use flickr then you can turn on the "Automagically import GPS information as geo data" setting here http://flickr.com/account/geo/exif/

I've tried this with photos taken with my Dopod 1.23.707.6 ROM and it works great!

[ZakMcRofl]

Here's the full package.
I'll see if I can launch it without ROM modification.

Hi, I'm new to all this, have been tweaking my PC's for years but just got my first PDA and as it seems much easier to do considerable damage, i figured I'd ask rather than risk bricking my new best friend!

Anyway,
I have a Trinity, the GPS is enabled, (and showing in the connections panel thanks to trinitytweaks1.0) but I'm not getting the GPS options in the camera application.

Am I right in thinking that if I install the above registry entries into my device, the GPS options for the camera application will be activated? or would i have to install a different ROM to get this feature working?


I figure some of these details might be useful to anyone answering, Thanks in advance to anyone that does :)

[Toxic17]

Its more likey to be the current "Orange ROM" you have on your M700 which is crap tbh.I took the plunge to upgrade the phones rom over the last week. I have no regrets, just big smiles now.

[joolsblackburn]

hi all,

I used total commander to install the camera application & registry file that ZakMcRofl posted, the camera application works, but I'm still having trouble with its GPS function.

The "GPS Photo" option is available within the camera application but when I switch to it a dialoge box appears and three dots flash repeatedly. I presume that this means "please wait, acquiring signal"

Note, The dialogue box only does this when the GPS program port is set to GDP#, with other setting the dialogue box is unresponsive, similar to MetalMushrooms experience.

Trouble is "GPS Photo" never seems to acquire a signal as the 'wait' message repeats endlessly.

I know I am receiving a good signal at my location and in fact I have even tried running GPS software at the same time as the camera application to prove that a good signal was being received.

Has anyone else had this trouble?

Its more frustrating now that I have got the "GPS Photo" capable camera application and it wont work than previously when i thought i was stuck with the standard camera app :(

Hi Guys any luck with fixing this bug, I have tested the reg chage with WM6 Rom doesn't work ????? any other suggestions ??? plz

Thaks

[s4cr3d]

Normaly I would open up my mapking or any other gps application that is working and when the gps is activated I will then switch to my camera gps and it works.I would then close my mapking.Good luck trying

[sachin1778]

Yup it does work if u run some other GPS software. Thanks s4cr3d

I use VisualGPSce this is free software, run this software first and wait till it fixes the gps once it configured. Then start the cam and it works like a charm.

I use this website http://www.panoramio.com/ it automatically reads the coordinates from the picture and maps it with google maps and you can even export kml file for google earth.


Hope this helps some one.

Note: i am using WM6 and Dopod D810 mobile

Thanks
Sachin

Hey sachin1778

I have a simliar setup to you, Dopod D810 WM6. I have been trying to get TomTom installed on my new phone to no sucess... Phone says no GPS signal

Just wondering if you are using this software or if you have GPS enabled... I saw your post but as im new to this dont know how to go about to have GPS enabled.

Any help would be great! :(

[sachin1778]

Hi vacapreta,

Once you install TomTom you need to go to gps setup and select NMEA GPS Receiver , then set the GPS Baud rate to 115200 and the gps should be there in com 9 port, just select com 9 port and you are done. This above mentioned setting work fine for me. If it doesnt work then search in this forum for correct version of Rom installed on ur phone which works with GPS.

Hope this helps

Thanks
Sachin

And last but not least important: getting a fix can take a while... so pls be patient. If it says "No GPS-signal"... that is great news! Cause it means you have a GPS device that is searching for a signal. :D

[s4cr3d]

Yeah most importantly make sure above you is open sky no blockage.It must have sound silly or stupid but when I 1st install my gps software onto my dopod 810 I was trying to get the gps inside my house until someone told me to get out of my house and into the open sky so that the satelite could get ur signal.:)

LOL. Nice one! :D

[Hacker@lho]

Hi, is there a way to when a gps photo is taken to be saved in "my pictures" instead of "My POI".

It's because each time i take a gps photo i have to cut it to my pictures ti be seen in pictures and videos

[heiden]

Hi,
If you have "Unable to start camera
Not enough memory"
after the installation of the files (4 files like camera.exe ....) and the reg file and the soft reset.
I think that you forgot (like me) to disable "hidden .dll files" in Resco explorer for example and you forget to copy to others files CameraRc_Grey.dll and CameraRC_Orange.dll.

if it could help you...

Bye

[annabwashere]

Newbie here. Is this enabled in the latest official Dopod ROM (3.00.707.17)? I have no idea where the GPS Photo setting is located.

ROM version: 3.00.707.17
ROM date: 06/29/07
Radio version: 1.46.00.11

** UPDATE **

Found it under Camera > Capture Mode. Needed to scroll down one more screen.

[BOBO_01]

Here is a cab file to enable the GPS Photos.
Works fine on a german vodafone stock rom.
