question about using GPS with the TYTN

[alainc67]

Hello

I own an HTC tytn, and I want to do the following:

record a video from my car, with real-time GPS coordinates being printed at the bottom of the picture.

Can a combination of some GPS receiver and tytn do this ?

Thank you

The problem won't be the GPS receiver, but the camera software. The build-in software can't do that. And a third party software would have to support the TyTN camera.

You can record the video with the phones camera (note the time you start recording), and be running a GPS message recording software. then you can use a video editor software in your PC to spuerimpose the text (gps coordinates) in to the movie.

ok thanks -- I think I may just splash out on a video camera with built-in GPS (not cheap), unless the HTC device with built-in GPS (Artemis ?) somehow does it ...

Silly question, why do you want to do this?

Depending on your answer you may find www.mp3car.com an interesting place to vist.

I am working on a large building site, with structures only partially built.

I am trying to show the status of the project to clients by taking a film of the site as it is now, with exact GPS location shown at all times

I woulf then be able to relate exactly what is shown on the film to a modelisation of the fully completed project that we already have.

Fair enough, I saw the Car mentioned and thought you migt be trying to have a video black box in your car, a common idea and one that is being acheived by putting a PC in your car. Hence the link to www.mp3car.com.

I wish you luck in your seach.
