Is there a way to view geotagged photos send though sms (from my htc to someone else's phone) with a map or link to a map at all? If this is only on certain phones using a certain application then I'd be fine with that. I just want some more info on this since I've unlocked the geotag option on my HTC Touch Pro. Thanks

I would bet that sending a picture via SMS/MMS strips out any EXIF as it resizes it etc.
This is a bit roundabout, but perhaps you can upload the pictures to Flickr and they can view it from there? If you have it turned on Flickr, it'll automagically geocode the images if they have GPS tags in them.
TrackMe can also upload photos and the user can see them from the website.
Perhaps someone will have other ideas.
Yea I saw those options but I went with web picasa for the web portion (since it's tied directly to google for gmaps and all). Too bad there doesn't seem to be an app. that can just sms/mms to someone where they can open the pic and have a link directly to the spot on mobile google maps.

Now playing: Asher Roth - I Love College

I have a Touch Cruise version 1.
Is there software that will record timestamped GPS waypoints and store these in a database that can be downloaded via USB, or uploaded at regular intervals?
Thanks,

You might try GPSToday (http://www.geoterrestrial.com/). It might be what you're looking for...
Hello,
I try to find the answear to that question but i failed, probably is because i dont speak chinese
How can i import the footprints that i have exported from the htc footprints to a file .kmz to a google maps MAP, and show the photo in the footprint?
when i tri to do that, the photo doesnt appear...
Your Help will be appreciated...
----------------------------
I put that question to HTC:
Hello, When i try to import footprints to google maps in my pc (to my map), the photo doesnt appear. Please tell me how can i do that in order to solve that problem. the steps: 1. i export the footprint to the memory card 2. i put the file in my computer 3. i goto google maps and goto my maps, and after i do "edit" and i do "import" and i import the footprint file that was in my pc. 4. after that the point of interest appears in the map, but the phot doenst appear. When i use the mouse (right click) in the photo, the properties show the link to the "image file".......
and the answer:
Regarding your request, if you are trying to link a photo to Google maps on the handset,kindly confirm that you've followed the information below:
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Photos & Videos tab and then tap Albums.
2. Tap the photo of the location that you want.
3. While viewing the photo in full screen, tap the screen to display onscreen controls.
4. Tap Menu > Save as Footprints.
5. Drag and move the photo to center a small part of the photo on the crop box.
6. Tap Done to crop the selected part of the photo and save it as a new footprint.
7. The Edit screen then opens and lets you add location information to the footprint.
If you are trying to link the photo to Google maps on a PC, kindly contact Google to find if this is possible, as this feature is supported on the handset not on the PC.
i might be wrong but i do not think you can host images directly on google maps.but you cas store your kmz files or images elsewhwre and point it on it.something like sites.google.com, flickr etc..
but than again.i can be wrong.i have tried a few things after you posted your question just because i wanted to know more about this.maybe you want to check this out http://www.northgates.ca/kmlEditor/.it is free and cool editor for kml and kmz files.
anyway.i am still looking at it.if i will find something i will let you know.

more information about footprints
Thank you for your interest.
After that i install google earth in my pc and with google earth, aftetr import the kmz file, the footprints appear with the photo...
Probably because the google earth is a local program and the footprints file is local too.
Wath i want is the same but with google maps in my map...
It is very strange HTC d'ont say noting about it, because the most beautiful feature for footprints is going to a personal map and put all the footprints in the map with photos...
If you know more about it, please wirte it to all the peeple.
if there is any solution to this that would be great, otherwise footprint will be kinda useless..
I need to backup all my footprints but I cannot use the standard backup procedure since I have no access the the Footprints tab on Sense, my Sense have crashed and don't start any more.. Before I replace it with a new rom, I'd like to save my Footprints but how?
I installed the kml editor. Besides getting a virus warning it can't open the kmz created by footprints.
In Google Earth (!) (G.E.) I linked to my public dropbox folder in wich I stored the ***.kmz file (the export file from Footprints from my HTC). in G.E. under 'my places' rightclick 'Add' and 'networklink' after wich you copy and paste your URL. So, not to a local file, but an URL on the Internet. Works OK, so photos are displayed on proper locations on Google Earth. Still no way found tot display them in Google Maps. Stupid thing Footprints does not have a proper sulution for this.
Fine thing is, you can use the 'time' dawbar in G.E. tot filter your footprints, or even have them played 'through time'.

I am a process server and I need a camera app that displays the ADDRESS on the picture. I have found an option in Open Camera that will display the GPS location, but not the address. I have searched all over the Play Store with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas? I would imagine this wouldn't be too difficult to create. Since addresses aren't always right in GMaps, maybe it should prompt you to confirm the address prior to taking the picture. It should take photos at the max resolution with no other filters or features.
Hi All,
I have a strange question about GPS data in Exif.
I know how to remove it or modify etc.
In place where I work people have different mobiles phones Huawei, Samsung etc.
They made a picture with GPS tagging - I receive print screen from them that they have GPS coordinates in file in their mobile.
But I don't know why when some friend send me picture by company mail, or private mail like gmail, or even upload somewhere file has not GPS coordinates. (but they have proof in print screen from mobile that they have GPS coordinates)
It is illogical to me why these properties are empty.
Do you know which process remove automatically that data? Maybe is something with privacy policy?
Thanks for any ideas.
In my mobile it works, and I don't know how to help friends.
