Hi there,
Recently had an epic trip (thanks to the volcano), left geotagging on for all photos, so I can see them dotted across a map of Europe.
Cant find any way of viewing them, I've tried uploading one to flickr, and it doesn't do anything automatically.
Is there something I need to do? Gotta say, the iphone geotagging feature is much better implemented...
Regards
niklz
my bet is on picasa as it is googles own photo hosting. On my picasa I have a small google map on the bottom right of my home page with a mark on florida for the photos from last years warped tour and dundee from a random jaunt i went last summer =]
I assume this is exactly what yours would show up like if you uploaded them all.
Im actually going to go check see if this works...
Edit: ok i cannot get geotagging to work, full stop... not good.
Any light shed on the subject would be awesome
Seconded, dying to see them.
If you open the EXIF data (right click the photo in Windows Explorer, properties, details) there should be a 'GPS' section which has latitude and longitude coodinates if the geotagging info has been stored correctly...
Nothing wrong with geotagging here. Take photo, upload to flickr, view flickr, click add to map and the map is centred on the geotagged coordinates.
If you check the photo properties on flickr you should see the following
GPS Latitude:
GPS Longitude:
GPSAltitude Ref: Above Sea Level
GPSAltitude: 79 m
GPSTime Stamp: 08:29:46
GPSMap Datum: WGS-84
GPSProcessing Method: HYBRID-FIX
GPSDate Stamp:
Just tried it in picasa (desktop version), just uploaded photos direct from phone to web picasa. Then sync the desktop picasa to your web albums. You`ll see a small red icon in the bottom left (google maps). Click on places icon in the bottom right and a map will open showing your locations of your photos.
Or a really cool feature is to select all your photos, click the geotag icon at the bottom. It`ll open google earth and geotag all then you can see all your photos in google earth.
In your Flickr settings, enable "Import EXIF location data".
Hmm, my photos don't seem to have any EXIF data on geo location :*((((.
I had GPS on obv, all I have done with the photos is copy them onto my hdd, using the HTC usb cable.
I have since replaced the phone, anything else I could try? Or has my old phone just cocked it up...

Just tried same procedure with new phone, no luck.
Sorry to be a pain, but could you do an idiots guide.
What settings must be in affect on the phone/PC.
What method of getting photos to picasa/flickr insures the uploaded file isn't compressed e.c.t.
Would be very grateful, Let me check if this new photo has geotags in the EXIF data.

niklz
Bump, please cant get this to work atm...
I`m just uploading to flickr or picasa straight from the phone. Take photo, press share icon, send to my flickr/picasa account.
If you load into the pc they should be fine, but exif (geotag) data can be lost if you manipulate and resave the images in some software.
Also, on the Desire. Check the settings in camera has geotagging on, then when taking a geotagged photo make sure you have gps lock. The animated gps (satellite) icon in the top left corner of the camera screen will be replaced by a target to show locked location.

Ahh, its the lock thing! really really wish I'd have known this a week ago!
Thanks for the help, now it works fine. takes ~30sec to lock for the first time, is that normal?
Is there a decent geotag app for the desire, will google earth do it on the desire?
kind regards,
niklz
Yes usually takes about 30 secs to lock onto the satellites. You could always leave GPS on but then its going to eat battery.
Haven't tried any geotagging apps for android sorry. Google earth wont do it. Its pretty basic on android, recommend doing those kind of things on the PC.
aaah right. so yea i had the right idea but had no idea about the location lock. Cheers guys
Does anyone know if it is possible to geo-tag using only tower location? Used to be able to do this on my iphone and although not 100% accurate, at least lets you get a rough idea without trying to get a GPS lock?
Our is there an app which would do this?

Ok so I have been with my EVO since the white one came out, but I came from a hacked Pre, and with that I had a *hack* that renamed my photos after taking them to the date they were taken and not something like IMAG001.. Is there anything like this for the Evo or Android in the Market or hack.. it would really help because now when I take a picture, if I go to delete it and take a new picture it takes the place of persay IMAGE0216 when I would maybe have 1000 photos taken...
Thanks
Open you camera, hit settings and there should be an option for Geo Tagging. I think that's what you are looking for.
I will try this but then it prompts me turn on my GPS for that, I shouldn't have to do that since it will waste more battery right?
Sorry for the noob question. I accidentally tried installing a ROM for the Sprint Nexus. Ever since then, my camera takes pics but doesn't save them to the gallery. Additionally, I can't see any of my old pictures at all. I am able to view them with a different viewer I downloaded on the marketplace, but that's it.
Thanks in advance for your guys' feedback.

Hi all,
I've been looking for an app that, after I've taken a picture, would ask me if I wanted to upload it to a website like twitpic. I thought it could be done with tasker but I've searched and found nothing.
See, I don't want the app to automatically upload said picture to a predefined website, I want to be able to choose which picture will be uploaded to which website and maybe write a caption to go with it.
wouldn't it be great?
thanks in advance
Hi guys.
So I've been using Instant upload for a long time now and I like the option to have extra copies of my images stored in the cloud in case something happens to my phone or something like that. Everything works great except one thing.
From time to time I get new folders in gallery, albums of pictures that are already in the main "Instant Upload" album are showing up alone. Sorted in the Y/M/D format (usually). That wasn't a big deal, I downloaded Perfect Tool for Picasa and dealt with it by deleting extra albums, and only leaving album "Instant Upload" undeleted. And for a few days everything is good again. And a few weeks back problems started, by problems I mean something that Google changed. New captured pictures are uploaded but put into the separate folders and again, sorted by date. That just looks ugly in the Gallery.
So my question is next.
Is it possible to keep the option for Instant Upload but make it not visible in the Gallery ? I'd really like that.
If there's the need to use a different Pictures Viewer, let it be.
Please, someone answer.
Thank you for reading.
I think you have to uncheck the synchronization with Instant Upload and Google Photos in accounts' settings, then clear gallery's cache if needed.
But won't that disable uploading photos to the cloud ?
Still need help with this, if anyone knows anything about how this works, please help out.
I'm having the exact same experience. Apparently it's a known issue and Google is already working on a resolution.

P.S. This is not a Gnex specific issue... it's happening on all phones.
