After I ran Kaiser Tweaks it gives you the option to take "GPS pictures" so that the coordinates would be somewhere attached to the picture. Where is this info located? I have searched the pictures properties far and wide with no luck.

I haven't done it in a while, but I believe it's in the metadata of the file. If you have something like photoshop, the you can see the information.

KaiserTweaks is an application that somebody made so that novice users can take advantage of some more options on thier device without having to go into the registry. It was specifcally made for the HTC Kaiser.

Hi Rainman,
Am using AT&T Tilt, USA (HTC 8925).
Could you please direct me on how to use offline GPS (I dont have a data plan)
I do have enough storage (8 Gb) to download maps and store it...

Pls help me out...

Thanks,

Mahdi - go to www.pharosgps.com and check out their Ostia GPS software. I have been using it on my Tilt for 6 months and it works great. I loaded the maps for western U.S. including Hawaii. It took about 400 MB on my storage card. It gives you turn-by-turn directions, by voice. The only info you must download is Quick GPS data once per week (unless you change locations - e.g. California to Hawaii requires another Quick GPS download). Those downloads take about 10 seconds and can be done via WiFi, so no data download cost.

To my knowledge there is no freeware that provides voice guided turn by turn GPS. Google Maps provides lots of good info for free and will show you your GPS position and track your position along your route, but it requires an unlimited data plan, since Google downloads maps segmentally as you travel. The Pharos - Ostia $99 is about the least expensive software I have found. It works great, and is much less expensive than buying a dedicated GPS device.

Looks good, but it requires data plan (internet) to access their servers... is there a way that maps can be downloaded and used as offline GPS..??

Thanks,
Madhi

As far as I know, all the software that provides downloadable maps (no data plan required) and supports turn-by-turn directions are for sale - no free downloads. Pharos-Ostia, Tom-Tom etc. all charge about $100.

Here is a program I found that will display the GPS information for you.

Have you found the referenced GPS program to work well for you? Are you using it an a Tilt? What is the cost, and do the maps download to the phone or is it dependent on 3G? (I have not yet gone to the site, but don't want to check something out that is exorbitantly expensive, or does not work well. Thanks for Your time wsmith9

Exifread is a PC program. I have not found a reader for WM. The program is free and it is just an EXIF reader; no maps.
