I couldn't get this to work either with my C905 photos either.

what??
i thought C905 is already equipped with built-in gps?
this program should be used for cell-id geotagging phones only..
for example, C510, C901, C902..
C702 and C905 have their own gps.. You dont need this program..

They should be in the same folder.

I've made a special debug version, please try it with one of your geotagged photos and post the program log (or better PM it to me)

Download it here.

And yes, you are right about spelling, thank you.

You'll help me and the project

Thank you

pakusin - the 905 doesn't tag the photos correctly it seems. see my other thread! When i take "geotagged" photos now there is no EXIF info - just the cell info hence this would be handy.

Make sure you activate your GPS receiver first and signal were locked. It show with an icon at your statusbar.

Hi,

I am having a problem while converting, I am getting the following log:

Error with mcc/mnc/lac/callid. (mcc/mnc/lac/callid not found?)

How can I check to seee if the CellID is enabled in the pictures?

Thank you,
Othello

The cell ID is not stored in the EXIF part of the file - but in another RDF section, which is probably why you can't find it. If you open a tagged image up in notepad or something then the cell ID stuff will look like

{cell:mcc}234{/cell:mcc}{cell:mnc}30{/cell:mnc}{cell:lac}241{/cell:lac}{cell:cellid}45808{/cell:cellid}{cell:r}3{/cell:r}{cell:cgi}234-30-241-45808{/cell:cgi}

(note I've change angled brackets for wiggly ones as it wouldn't post correctly with angled brackets)

Which is essentially XML style information.

from the mcc, mnc, lac and cellid information, using opencellid, you can find the lat/lon coords - which can then be written into the EXIF.

code28h4p - there is a problem with the phone software somewhere, even though I have GPS turned on, I have a lock etc, the phone is still not writing the GPS lat/lon information into the EXIF tags. It does however write the cellid into the RDF section, hence why this program would be great to get working.

!!! TO ALL having mcc/mnc/lac/cellid-not-found problem:


I've solved your problem and reuploaded the program. Please download and test.
The problem was due to image paths with spaces.


gayannr you can use exiftool to see the cell-id info. You can make a copy of the exiftool.exe file included in my distributibe and rename it to exiftool(-k).exe, and drag&drop your image to the exiftool(-k).exe file.

Most certainly that means your image is in protected folder.

As far as I see on Sony Ericsson website k800i doesn't have geo-tagging... So app is useless for you
