Hello.

I had a problem: I couldn't use location info written by my Sony Ericsson W902 to photos. I couldn't use it in any applications. And I've solved the problem by making a program.

See my blog post.



Source code of the program is the subject to upload soon.

EDIT. The mcc/mnc/lac/cellid-not-found problem is now solved (for the people actually having this mcc/mnc/lac/cellid stuff in their images)!

Good luck!

No, it won't. All it does is adding GPS position tags

I've updated version, fixed bugs, added Readme, and uploaded the source code.

Have fun!

Hi, sorry i cant get it working,
I think it's because of my network provider doesnt display the 'cell info' even after I enabled it.
I hope other users can try it out and probably share the results here..

What error do you get? You can send me the photo and let me see.

Network provider always provides cell-info

I added the file and clicked Process. Here is the program log:

Processing dsc00510i.jpg
Reading tags. Loading coordinates from google. 4.222407 103.436363. Writing tags.
Processed with no errors.


I checked, it really added GPS coordinates to the photo (the basic way to check that is to open windows properties for this file, go to tab Details and search GPS).

What do you mean, you can't convert? Does my program say that an error occurred?

Yes it supports batch processing.

teapea & pakhusin & code28h4p do you have all three exe files in one directory?
