I made the above change and switched the camera mode to GPS and it goes through the "Initializing GPS..." prompt for about 10 seconds and then it goes to the camera. I tried taking a few photos, but when I check out the metadata I can see that it doesn't record the coordinates (I copied the data at the bottom of this message & you can download the photo [634kb] here - http://www.mattgreek.com/GPS_001.jpg). I also made the registry changes below:

Could those registry changes be the reason for no GPS info in the photos or anyone have any advice?

Another question, in the GPS Photo options it has the option "Grace Period" with the options being "None," "5 Minutes," "10 Minutes" & "30 Minutes." I'm guessing that has something to do with how long it keeps the GPS active so it doesn't have to re-initialize it or?






Thanks!

I have got mine to work. but since our gps is mostly A-GPS it doesn't lock on the gps data quick enough when tagging the photo. it still shows me about 300 miles parallel to my actual location.

ive been playing with the time out for the gps inthe registry. this is as good as i have gotten it. as the other getotags previously were in the middle of the Atlantic... no where even close to me.

So has anyone (yet) got the GPS Photo to accurately tag a picture they took?

Does it help if you have Gmaps running with GPS locked before snapping the photo?

Ive tried with and without Gmaps running. All I ever get are 0s for all stats.

Wow...that's pretty disappointing. You'd think that they would have these kinds of things worked out by now.
