The regedit is how you turn it on. Once it's turned on, there's an extra option for photo types, called GPS. When you select that, it says "Initializing GPS..." for awhile, then it shows a funky globe with a few bars on top of it. If you take a picture in that mode, it sticks your picture in the "My POI" folder, and there are new EXIF attributes on it (the lat/long/altitude, among others). But they're zero's, which means all my pictures have been taken in the ocean off Africa.

With regards to the links you posted, it's actually the P10 subkey you must go to, not the P9. They mention it's not working in WM6 (WTF?).

I've written a small app that takes the picture (using the HTC camera "dialog", complete with zoom functionality), and will capture the GPS information. But tying the two together has kept me busy in my evenings the last couple nights. But I'm still making progress, I think. I just want to know if I'm alone, or if it's a worthwhile exercise.

BTW, thanks for the input!
