webcam feeds on today screen - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

does anyone know of a webcam feed program. Ive searched and all I can find is webcam-holmes, but cant find a good link for it.

maybe this is not exactly practical, but if you use weather panel and your camera output is a image file that gets updated periodically, you can use weather panel's radar image area for that purpose.

Diamond and Geotag?

The Diamond and geotag my pictures.
Is this possible ?
And how ?
i looked at the registry tweak
HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P9« DWORD-entry »Enable« to 1.
But on the P9 is already something on, better not change this i think it's has something to do with video.
So is there a other way or tweak for my diamond to geotag ?
P,s; The GPS works like the best iv'e ever had.
I saw in camera settings the menu - add GPS position to foto ...
Where ?

Thank you this works !!!
Great tip.
so I enabled geotagging and took some pictures using the GPS Photo mode. I tried uploading them to Flickr and tried using Google Earth to show the locations, but none have worked so far. Could someone shine some light on this one for me? Thanks. P.
did you soft reset?^^
just covering the basis until someone else helps you =p
I tried that too, and I got the same result: not geotagged photos. I guess that what we have to do is use a tracking software that logs the GPS position, as discussed in the forum for another HTC phones, so then we can "mix" the tracking log and the photos, to find out the position where each photo was taken.
Anyway, as I have no experience geotagging photos automatically I'm not sure at all what app would be useful... I guess I have to investigate
geotagging works fine for me... maybe when you upload them to flicker you lose the gps data....
i tried a software called iTag ang i can see mu picture in google earth
You have to have a gps program open though don't you before the tag is applied to the photo? At least I've found unless I have igo, tomtom or whatever open the "initialising gps" never goes away when I choose GPS picture.
Is there another way to do it?
Cheers

I had troubles too getting Flickr to auto geotag the GPS photos i took with my Diamond, but i found out what the problem was.
First You have to give Flickr permission to import the GPS data from your photos: go to http://www.flickr.com/account/geo/exif/?from=privacy and change the setting.
Next, You have to use the upload application(Flickr Uploadr) when you upload your GPS photos. When you have uploaded your photos, go to Flickr > Organize > Map and click on the newly uploaded pictures and Flickr will automatically place the pictures on the map according to the coordiantes it reads from the EXIF data. It will only work if You use the application.

Yes, but I'd like it to send stright away from my TD, and then Flickr says the best way is to E-mail them and then it won't work. Even with the on;ine app from my PC: "We couldn't find anything matching your criteria."...any other option anyone (to get it done automaticly)

Thanks!
Flickr problem
Diamond is able to GeoTag my picture and ACDSee shows me that it containts GPS Location data. I finally found GeoTagged pictures in the folder "My POI".
I have enabled EXIF Location import in Flickr (Privacy settings).
But when I upload to Flickr it will not import any EXIF information from my GeoTagged pictures... even when the picture is taken is not imported any more. None GeoTagged pictures still import EXIF information... Any ideas?
Regards, Tor Anders
I have the same problems, it seems like both Flickr and Picasa does not understand the geotag that the Diamond creates. Makes you wonder what application HTC had in mind for this - has anyone been able to use the geotagged HTC photos for anything?

did you upload the pictures with the web upload?
When it comes to Flickr I have tried both web upload and their "Uploadr" application for Windows. Does not work, even after enabling EXIF data does anything show up ...
geotag
hmm thats weird...Flickr has no problems placing my tagged pics on the right place when i drag them in on the map, but only when i use the web application....
Does tha map place it in the right place or is it really you who is placing them? I got the impression that Flickr would automatically move them to the map?
no i just drag them in some random place far away from where they are taken, and the map places them on the right place automatically

How does the GPS photo mode work on the camera?

I wonder if anyone can help, I've used the GPS photo mode and it seems to be working fine turning on my gps and then taking the photograph. But what happens after that I've looked at the pictures and can't see any gps info and nothing new in the properties. I can't seem to find any help searching in google. After reading this forum for the past couple of weeks I've learnt so much I'm hoping somebody out there can help me
The GPS information is only visible in the EXIF data hidden in the picture. You can access this information with programs like Adobe Bridge, Opanda EXIF and other such programs.
Its not until you start doing something like uploading your picture to the various Geotagging photo sites that it gets interesting. Right now though it seems like the more popular one, Flickr, is having trouble with the Diamond EXIF and it wont work, but some other site might work for you.
Hmmm never thought of using this but it may be nice... Is there a list of sites that support GPS metadata? I have some Picasa albums set up (and uploaded), but I just read about problems with Picasa deleting the GPS metadata?
resco photo manager can do it, plus it open google map with the picture position. It can add the gps position on any picture too.
A nice piece of software.
However, i folowed these steps :
Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
set "Enable" to "1
But i doesn't seems to work. Is it another special option to enable ?

Keeping track of travels from Kaiser for others to see

Folks,
I'm currently vacationing in Hawaii (Aloha!) and would like to find an easy to use tool that will allow my family and friends to track me. I'd like to be able to use my Tilt's GPS to track where I've been, upload pictures at locations I've been, and maybe add a bit of commentary for the folks back home.
I've tried wordpress blogging from Opera, but it is really, really cumbersome to upload pictures because the upload utility doesn't display thumbnails--only file names.
Is there another utility that you'd recommend?
Rutilate
Two simple steps...
Step 1: Use the GPS photo option in the phone to take a pic.
Step2: upload the pic to http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ and see where you have been in google earth or google maps...
Sometimes the GPS photo takes forever to get a lock by itself so i use GPSTest to get a GPS lock and then switch to the camera.
You can also try Ozi Explorer , this app allows you to show your GPS position in real time on the map (Its called moving map mode, and the map can be a PNG image).
Have fun on your vacation!

Just make sure you use its "Turn Off Screen" mode if possible, otherwise Windows Mobile eventually goes to a deeper sleep and it stops tracking. Not a problem when it's plugged into the charger typically, and when I'm traveling on the road I always just keep the phone plugged in.

Looking for a browser widget which can work with local or remote HTML files

Hi, I am looking for an application which simply shows HTML pages(local or remote) on home-screen(widget) and refreshes itself in specific time intervals.
It would be great for people, who knows how to work with javascript but doesnt know java and it would be very useful and simpler to create RSS-like widgets with it.
Any suggestion? Thank you.
I'm looking for something similar that will pull this image into a widget on my homescreen:
EYE EM GEE ESARESEE="http_//spc_noaa_gov/products/outlook/day1otlk_0100.gif" alt="SPC Day1 0100Z Outlook Categorical" width="582" height="408"
I had to edit the html a bit due to me being a noob
Success! Use "Webcam Widget" in the Android Market.
Then, you can copy the URL and resize the widget with LauncherPro!
Now I have Day 1 Convective Outlooks, Day 1 Storm Reports, Day 1 Watches/Warnings and the local news live Doppler Screen grab (added the widget four times) on one my homescreens!
i am looking for something which can handle HTML, Javascript and CSS
not only image files...

[Q] BlinkFeed RSS image on background.

As you all know, BlinkFeed displays a nice background image on every RSS item. I've been trying to replicate this with my custom feed (I fuse feeds I follow on my server and try to insert an image into the RSS description tag) and succesfully been able to make it display an image. However, it doesn't fill the field completely like in the stock version.
I'm not all that privy to RSS standard so I've no idea how to make the image to fill the BlinkFeed box and display the RSS item title over it, or if it's possible at all. Would be helpful if I had an actual URL the BlinkFeed uses when it refreshes an image and then look over the XML.
Anyone have an idea how to make this work? It works 'alright' now, but I would like to replicate the functionality in stock BlinkFeed.
Thanks!
