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...
Regards
niklz
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.
Regards,
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?

Just got the M8 and love it as I knew I would. I had the M7
But the galleries for HTC are so different than any other makers. Samsung mainly
Samsung's gallery is straightforward. HTC? Not so much. I never used 100Media, didn't know what it was and my camera/videos/wallpaper folders worked fine
Now I have the Gallery on HTC. I know how to use the basics of it, hide files etc, and I see the Zoe's up top. My question for this gallery is: is there a way to isolate simply the pictures you have taken with a camera, not the videos with it, and not any other pics like my wallpapers. It seems like I get all of them or my vids and camera pics
What is more confusing is the fact that I don't need to use that. I started using Quikpic for the purpose of fixing the date, enabling sorting from date etc. I was told and experienced Android is very inconsistent with that. I love Quik Pik
But with the HTC it is a little confusing
I was told that HTC created the 100Media? ...by the app creator. Yet I could swear that I saw it on previous phones. Nexus, Samsung, etc.
In any case, the Zoe's are supposed to go there. I can answer my own question. They don't appear there because just as another phone that doesn't do Zoe's can't play a Zoe, nor can an app, correct
Help me understand if I changed things to be the way they should be, for this app, and for this phone
I just moved all my camera pics to 100Media I believe it works perfect. New camera pics show there. BUT there are about 5 or 6 files that I delete, could restart the phone and they come back.
Any ideas would be appreciated

I ditched Microsoft One Drive to go all in with Google 1 upon purchase of my shiny Pixel 6 Pro, but I'm really missing my daily notification at 6am with photos from over the years dating back since my 1st pictures titled "On This Day", it's nice having a brew looking back over the years while you wake up especially when it's a special day like kids birthdays etc... It really does cheer me up. Google photos has some sort of memories thing but they have now disappeared from the app,
I have everything turned on and when I switched to Google photos/Google 1, I painfully uploaded separate albums into yearly folders which consist of around 17,000 pics/videos but still nothing, I had a memory show up in an album at the top of my photos that it thinks I'd be interested in but it consisted of about 6 pics in a slide show format which is just a big NO. I really want "On This Day" back with daily notification spanning across all the years like Ms One Drive does. I do love the speed of Google photos tho.
Am I being thick or does google photos not cater for this as I'm so close to ditching google 1 and going back to Microsoft One Drive. I have searched and posted in Pixel Help Community's to find out that Google may have just given up on these functions. Any advice muchly appreciated.
Wait did you upload to Google Drive or Google Photos? You need them to be uploaded to Google Photos for all the memories. When you do that, there's no need to create albums of years, Google Photos takes care of all that. You'll get stories at the top.

I'm getting the notification just fine. Not sure if the exact time but once a day I'll get something.

Hi, thanks for the reply could I ask a couple of questions if you don't mind answering when you have time?
Have you been using Google photos for a while? (Do I maybe need to give it time, as I've had my pics uploaded for about 2 weeks ish?)
Is it just exact pictures from this specific day from past years?
Are the presented as a video slide mode or just pictures that you manual scroll through?
I wouldn't mind what time of day I got a notification as long as I could just go and look on each new day.
Many thanks for you time much appreciated.

Hey check my updated reply.
- I've been using using Google Photos since day one it came out. I have 60,000+ photos according to my Google Dashboard.
- The stories are usually within a couple days of the today's date.
- They're stories just like on Instagram, Facebook, etc. but if you swipe up you can get an option to "View Day".

Argh ok, thanks for your time. I'll see if it kicks in soon then and starts giving me them. I have added the only photo widget available to me which says "This Week 1 Year ago" but it's showing me pictures from just a couple of months back. Like I said I'll give it some more time as

Hi thanks for your time, intially I uploaded them to Google Drive along with additional folders and then realised something wasn't right, in MS One Drive this is how I had them. So then I painfully created Albums named 2002, 2003 etc.. as I've got a weird OCD thing where I like all the pictures in a folder with the corresponding year as the name. Maybe this is what I'm doing wrong. All my photos in the app are obviously shown in date order and the app is so fast scrolling, loading the thumbnails then viewing them instantly once selected world's apart from MS One Drive that are slow to load.
So I reckon given what you've said if I get over my weird OCD and move all the pictures out of the albums and put them directly in the root of photos it could fix it, it makes sense really.
Screen shot attached of what I see...
I'll keep you posted when I do it later.
Thanks for your time. Really appreciated.

I'm a little confused though. You have all your photos showing up in Google Photos but you still have them in Google Drive? Google Drive and Google Photos no longer sync with each other.
"...upload or delete photos in Google Drive or Google Photos, changes won’t reflect in the other product."
Recent changes to Google Photos & Google Drive - Google Photos Help
What’s happening? Starting July 10, 2019, Google Photos and Google Drive will no longer automatically sync. We’re making this change to simplify how things work between the two services. You
support.google.com
But you're saying all the pics you uploaded to Google Drive are showing up? So what method did you go about for that to happen? If you did it by this method, https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6156103?hl=en, then you have duplicated the space used because "If you copy an item from Google Drive to Google Photos, the new copy in Google Photos will also count against your storage."

Hi, I removed them from Google Drive then uploaded them to the albums via web browser. I'm defo not duplicating them. I've literally just finished removing them from the albums, so hopefully I'll start seeing the memories. I really do appreciate your time on helping me out. Many thanks

Hi @EeZeEpEe, previous years has now showed up for me many thanks again for your time and solution. It's still not like I got on MS One Drive but it's certainly good enough for me to stay with Google Photos. Soo happy.

Hi @EeZeEpEe hope you are well? Could I bother you for another question about Google Photos if you don't mind? I thought I'd come to you after you helped me out with my Memories which is awesome by the way.
Is there a way to remove photo albums from view in Google Photos? I have loads of music albums with album covers and they all show up in the library tab. On the Samsung gallery app you could hide the albums from view, I've checked everything, I think! Any help appreciated. Thanks.

There are certainly some differences, I also like the MS One Drive approach better, Google only "occasionally" tells you "hey, this happened 3 years ago, have a look" - but there's no noticeable "trigger" to it, you can't force it and it's hard to comprehend why a certain day is now of interest to Google photos and another one is not.
Over the years I noticed that Google likes to tell you of holidays past, so a certain trigger (maybe) are Google Photos albums that are linked to GPS and were made automatically whenever you were on holiday, but that's just my assumption/ anecdote and might be totally coincidental.

Hi, I've got used to it now, my previous years refresh each week and then sometimes it randomly creates an album it thinks I'd like but I'm just loving the actual speed of the app I can scroll from today all the way back to 2004 as fast as I can move my finger down the screen and boom loaded... Also loving the search function which also enables a trip down memory lane by categorising "Things" into Night Clubs, Camping, Swimming etc.... I've long forgotten about MS One Drive Now, especially now I've just figured out how to hide all my music album covers from the Library view. Google Photos is Awesome. Lol

Do you install and retrofit skylights? Because your photos sure look a lot like photos I took when I did.

Nope. Those views are from my job and were either sunrise or sunset pics.
Hey guys , frustrated here. Came from a long stretch of Samsung phones and never had this issue. When using the Gmail app for my emails , when I pinch to zoom , is there any way to zoom right in? I'm finding when trying to zoom into a screen shot or something in email, it just stops zooming in at a set level vs my previous samsungs where I could zoom into a single letter if I wanted to. Any way to change this anywhere , anyhow ? Hard to explain exactly what I mean it hopefully someone knows. Thanks
Try a different email client.
