How to to activate the gps photo on the TytnII (like the Artemis)
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\
in the folder called P9 change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1.
Now if you launch the camera you must find a new menu called "gps photo".
When you shot a photo in this way the tytn write the position (lat and long) in the exif data of the photo.
Cool. Note that GPS photo doesn't show up in the menu -- it's another camera mode, like photo/video/contacts/etc.

Sure, excuse me for my bad english and poor explanation.
For a free exif reader
http://www.takenet.or.jp/~ryuuji/minisoft/exifread/english/
You can use the lat and long in google maps, in TomTom etc.
How does this work?
Do you need to connect the GPS first? ... with what? The Camera software?
Please if you can be more detail ....
When you select GPS Photo, the camera software turns GPS on itself if you're not connected already...
Thanks for the info. This is like adding GPS function to the Trinity
Now I have photos with GPS coordinates. How can I add them into Google Map? Thanks

If you want to simply view the point in google maps:
with exif reader read the coordinates of the photo i.e
GPSLatitudeRef : N
GPSLatitude : 41 0706 [DMS]
GPSLongitudeRef : E
GPSLongitude : 14 5225 [DMS]
Now open google maps and write in "find" the coordinates in this way
41 07' 06'' 14 52' 25''
Google maps show you the point were you have take the photo!

It's called geo tagging in google.
Use the picassa image software from google. if you load the photo's in there, the tool will recognize the coordinates and by following a menu it will bring you to the location in google earth (which you already have of coarse). It shows the photo (and all other photo's geotagged) indexed by picassa in Google earth.

Read post #1 and #3 again..... The position information is stored in the EXIF information of each photo.
Hi, I've just activated this and I am getting the GPS photo on screen with the GPS on. But when I take a photo there is no location data on it. Anyone have any ideas?

Forgive my ignorance. I'm assuming the regedit for the TyTN II? How do I get there?
If for the PC, I don't have it and can someone explain how that would adjust the setting on the phone?
Use PHM RegEdit
Here is the link http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/

I'm not sure if the GPS camera option is actually taking photos and storing GPS data. The LAT/LONG data is not in the exif of any photos I've taken using the GPS camera. I've taken pictures with and without GPS test running in the background. And yes I had a GPS fix when I've tried taking these pictures.
Can anyone confirm or deny please? Please tell me what I'm doing incorrectly.

What do you think will happen if you will cross the 1000 km/h speed?
a) Phone explodes!
b) nothing, it counts from 0 again as it has only 3 digits for speed in TomTom

Maybe you will go somewhere, take a photo of something interesting, after some time find the photo in your archive and ask "Where the hell did I take this one?"
BUM! GPS info and you're back from pre-Alzheimer stage
can i ask you which program have you used to see the Exif information?

Picasa will read the pictures but you (well I) need to modify the Exif data before I import them otherwise the GPS co-ords are not read. Once Picasa can see the GPS data then it will upload to your web albums.
I use: exiftool <foldername> -r -GPSVersionID=2.2.0.0

I used Irfanview with the "EXIF Plugin" installed. When you view the EXIF Data there is a button in the corner, that sends you right to the location in Google Earth.

I had trouble with this too at first anyway. I presume you already had the GPS option or you have enabled the GPS option for your camera (my UK T-Mobile MDA Vario III had it disabled by default!)?
If so, take the picture, then go here www.gpsvisualizer.com
It's very simple - you upload the picture, choose the output format and click GO!

Hello, I need some help. I have lots of GPS _xxx.jpg photos taken by TyTN GPS Photo. All of them shown GPS coordinates in their EXIF info when I view them in ACDSee. None of them can shown their locations in Google Maps when I upload them to Picasaweb.
I downloaded exiftool but when I type your stated command line commands, it said the file not found GPSVersionID=2.2.0.0
Would you further advise me how can I "fix" these photos so that Picasaweb can correctly show their locations in Google Maps?
Thanks.
flickr reads the location correctly. for me i just email the photos to my flickr account and then you can map out all you pictures on their site. you do need to turn on the gps option in your flickr settings.

Haa Haa good one..Yup Google is about only Exif capable app at the mo.
As for using any receiver on a plane....GODDAM you are at 30,000 feet on average most of the time, do you not think that ANY delicate TX/RX lines are not sheilded from external radio sources at that height?? Internal sheilding is just the same...pretext was, they wern't sure of radio interference...THAT was 8 years ago...Now they are sure...that they can charge money for you using your phone or WiFi on a plane safely...Money, Money MONEY...

Yeah, plus I had phone/wifi/bt turned of. Only GPS turned on, which is just a receiver.
A portable DVD-player or an electric razor sends out much more radiation than that.
Hey
I've recently bought the HTC tytn II and I've tweaked it to my liking. I'm very satisfied with what was possible. E.g. Gps Photo, I've found a mobile program that could read the exif code of the photo and then I could manually put the coördinates in tomtom to navigate to is.
The question arose if there was already a program that could automaticly select the picture, read the exif code and then would give you the option to navigate to these coördinates with tomtom navigator,... Now THAT would be awesome
(I've been searching the internet for it, but to no avail )
thx in advance boys and girls!!!
i know there are some geo tagging apps that will allow you to sync with google maps to get a location but off hand i cant think of the names. ill get back to you on that one lol
I think its geotagging automator action.. but could be wrong. ill keep looking just in case
thx dude... any luck already?
Was playing around with the camera and noticed that pressing left at the photo option changes to a mode where it tries to initialize the GPS.. Just wondering what mode and what this does? (pressing the left key at the photo mode)
GPS Photo, takes pictures and records GPS coordinates
mine shows initializing GPS.. and doesnt do anything.. is there something i have to configure?
You must be in open air and get a fix for your GPS, in this way the coordinates of where the picture was taken will be inserted in the picture properties
Disable GPS Photo
You should IMMEDIATELY disable GPS Photo. The Tilt is notoriously awful when it comes to getting a GPS lock under any circumstances, and you don't want to go through the abort procedure every time you try to take a picture.
how would i disable GPS Photo? What do you mean closing GPS everytime I wanna take a pic?
I'm loading tomtom right now.. and its been copying the files for nearly an hour and a half..

I don't think it is that urgent to do, if at all needed. The camera program will start in the last mode it was used the last time, if you use it in the photo mode, then next time it will start in the photo mode and the GPS Photo mode will not be activated.

I've never had a problem getting a GPS lock with my Tilt. I do navigation for a living and it's pretty damn close if not usually right on.
I took some pictures with GPS camera... Now what? Where is the fun in this? Which program will show where my photo is taking?
Guys,
If you are not satisfied with the inbuilt photo tagging feature in the tilt, please try out GeoTerrestrial Geotagger, which works as an add-on to the GPSToday today-screen plugin. (Both totally free).
1) The GeoTagger add-on can be set to automatically geo-tag (aka geocode) your device pictures as soon as they are taken.
2) The geo-location is added to your pictures' JPEG Exif data so you don't need to perform any extra steps or maintain additional pieces of data.
3) Flickr will automatically recognize the geo-location of pictures geo-tagged with GPSToday GeoTagger.
4) Flexible: You are not restricted to automatic geo-tagging with GPS location only. You can also geotag specific pictures with whatever location you want, by selecting the location on the GPSToday map.
5) Coming Soon: View your geo-tagged pictures on the map itself within GPSToday. Find pictures "near" a location, from within GPSToday.
6) To install the GeoTagger add-on, install or update to the latest version of GPSToday, and simply select "GeoTag Pictures" from the Map>More menu in GPSToday.

You sure it works with Picasa, cause I get nothing ...
Since I changed to my new radio, I never have problems getting locks and I used to have hella problems with my tilt.
Hi Guys
i've applied the following tweak from the top thread:
"13. Enable GPS photo: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1"
Does this now mean the photo's are/can be geo-tagged? If so, how do I use it? I have looked in the camera options but cant see any options in there to turn it on/attach it to a photo.
GPS location is attached in EXIF. Searching would tell you quicker . For viewing location of taken photos use some EXIF reader.
In combination with this question i have one regarding this. If u use geotagging, will gps startup everytime u take a picture? I think it will do so, but like to know for sure.
If you enable GPS photo, you will see an extra cameramode called GPS-Photo, just push "up" and there you go and thats when GPS starts up. You can still take regular pictures without Geotagging easily

help
I had found this pretty cool GPS tool (www.terracrosser.com), yet it's zooming does not work on HTC Diamond. I had tried to modify registry fot scrolling wheel, but I was only able to scroll the map up and down, not to zoom.
Any help would be great.
Here is the way to registry:
HKLM/Software/HTC/SmartTouch/Terracrosser/
classname (string): #NETCF_AGL_BASE_
Mode (dword): 4
WheelCount (dword): 2
The website contains little to no information.
What does this app do?
How does it differ to Google maps?
Can it grab a map of Paris for me for me to use offline in the future?
I don't understand, it uses gps to show your location with maps from google maps.... So basically it's just google maps?

Looks like it, read the .PDF on download page
So it appears. Try using Google Maps for the Diamond instead of Terracrosser.
Damn, what a nice tool, I will certanly keep that in mind!
I have searched for a proper solution to download the google maps for a long time... that saves me a lot gprs costs
Nice tool, hoe they gonna fix the zoom-bug, then it'll be just perfect!
Not really usable for the moment but, if I understand well the documentation, the tool Mapper (wich crashes for me) should be able to save maps with different zoom levels and that would be great ! Touch screen and jog dial navgation would also be great...
I'll keep an eye on this...
so how easy would it be to download maps for offline viewing.
Can I tell it to just 'go fetch maps for Paris' and that will be enough? Thats the sort of solution I would need, a list of cities and I 'check off' which ones I would want it to download and cache

I have tested the mapper for some minutes, i am at work, so not much time to do it in detail
You have to zoom to the area you want to download by yourself, after that you choose how many zoomleves are to be saved and the rest dows the program on its own. Quite simple in my opinion.
But a feature to enter the city you want to download would be great, too
Perhabs it'll be added in the near future. It#s the first official version of this tool, as I have read on the page.
sorry but how can I control the program. I`ve added the necessary reg keys to navigate with hw keys but I can not zoom. stylus navigation isn`t supported?

If anybody want to betatest Terracrosser for HTC Diamond, please contact "mail at terracrosser dot com".
Thank you,

New Zooming method
Please use version 1.0.1 - touch screen zooming implemented (read User manual).
Great program, just what a lot of people have been after.
Why has it taken so long for someone to actually make an offline/cached map viewer??!?! I wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult!
I'm having a few problems with the software that I will try and solve, hopefully this keeps getting better!
what happened to Terracrosser.com??
I get a "server stoped" message when I go to the url where terracrosser was previously found
http://www.terracrosser.com
Site Not Working
Same problem for me also. Nitisara please make the site work so we can download the latest version of terracrosser.
Loved it in Cuba.
It's a pitty that the site is down.
Luckily I already grabbed a version. And I used it in Cuba
As far as I know there are no GPS-maps available because that is not allowed.
But Terracrosser was a big help, especially when a jinetero is helping you to go to somewhere else
