Hi!
I was searching on that forum for the solution but i couldn't find it :/
(maybe i search by wrong word i don't know)

I start from the begining
I have HTC P3300, i upgrade new ROM (Artemis Touch Rom WWE WM6.1 4.02) and when i searching my htc i see a function called "photo gps".
i tought "oh... nice function, i try it"
so i go to camera, turn it on and take a picture.
and now is problem.
I know that the picture save in folder My POI. But everyone says that thay have some log when thay have cordinats from gps.
but i haven't it :(
i know that i must go to reg and change reg "enable" and i did it.
But it still doesn't work
If anyone know how to do did i will be thankful.


P.S sry for my english if i do some mistakes

Hi.
If it is enabled in camera functions then you should be able to use it.
I have used it long time ago using original t-mobile rom with changed registry and had no problem with it.
You probably have to wait for GPS to locate your position.
Good luck

I believe the log itself is within the picture. So a program that recognises that should solve your problem. Picasa may do the trick. You should be able to store it where ever you want, I don't think that should make a difference as the location is stored within the picture itself.

Google geotag, wikipedia page tells quite a bit

Good luck

Sorry if I caused offence, didn't mean to say anything bad.
I must have used the ppc memory for picture, but the positioning wasn't precise, it was a bit off on google earth. So I corrected it using google earth itself.

sorry just wanted to help when I saw no replies to your message.
I am no way professional, just used it in the past and thought I may be of help.

Hi,
The coordinates are stored "in" the photo, there is no seperate log file that I know about. To access them you need software that can extract this metadata from the photo.
I know you can see it with Adobe Photoshop Elements (right click on the photo and select "Properties" from the organiser). I also know that windows XP dosn't list the coordinates if you right click and look at the properties. There are some other programs that will show it, try googling for "exif viewer". I would guess that Google Earth etc. would know how to get at the coordinates as well.

Hope this helps.

If you've got an apple mac, just read the image properties and you'll get the position of your photo :)
On PC, you should find an additional software.
On both mac and PC, you can send your photo to picasa web album (by google) and so photos wil be presented on a worldwide map. That is great :)
