Taking a Photo with GPS Information Attached

To attach a GPS location to photos as you capture them:
1. Tap Programs > Photosmart Camera.
2. Tap the GPS button
3. Start taking photos as usual.
Whenever the HP Photosmart Camera is launched, the GPS feature can take a few
minutes to obtain a location fix. The GPS feature displays on-screen indicators in
the following ways:
Indicator
No fix (White text)
Fix (Green text)
Lost fix (Yellow text)
The GPS feature relies on information from satellites to obtain a location fix. It
works best when your HP iPAQ has a clear view of the sky. If the sky is obstructed
by trees, tall buildings, structures or bad weather, it may be difficult to obtain a
location fix. It is quite difficult to obtain a location fix indoors.
To take indoor photos with location information, obtain a fix outdoors. Be sure to
keep the camera application open, and then take the photos indoors. Your images
are stamped with the last known location that you obtained earlier.
