Chapter 11 Finding and Recording Places11.1 Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPSTo ensure safety on the road, follow these guidelines before and when using your phone for GPS navigation.When using GPS navigation software in the car, always plot your GPS route before starting to drive. Do not try to configure the GPS navigation software while driving.The plotted GPS route is only for driving reference. It should not interfere with actual driving behavior.When using the phone inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount the phone securely in place. Avoid placing the phone in the areas shown in the following diagram:Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.Do not place where air bags could deploy.Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the phone in the holder.1.2.3. •••
208 Chapter 11 Finding and Recording PlacesUse the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any damages resulting from negligent operation of the system.Do not leave your phone in a vehicle or expose the phone to direct sunlight to avoid overheating the battery, which could pose damage to the phone or risk to the vehicle.The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal reception may be affected by obstructions such as high-rise buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle’s visor contains metal, it will be difficult for the GPS signal to pass through.Other nearby wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in unstable signal reception.The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.11.2 Downloading Location Data via QuickGPSBefore using your phone for GPS navigation, open QuickGPS to download ephemeris data (current satellite position and timing information). QuickGPS significantly speeds up the time for determining your GPS position. QuickGPS downloads ephemeris data from Web servers, instead of from satellites, using your phone’s Internet connection via Wi-Fi, ActiveSync or GPRS/3G.1. Tap Start > Tools > QuickGPS.2. Tap Download on the QuickGPS screen. When the download is complete, QuickGPS closes.•••••
Chapter 11 Finding and Recording Places 209On the QuickGPS screen, initially, you will see the Valid time of the downloaded data. As time passes, the remaining days and hours of validity will be shown.To speed up GPS positioning, download the latest ephemeris data when the validity of the data expires.Changing the download optionsTo configure download options, tap Menu > Options and choose from available options:Download QuickGPS automatically Automatically download ephemeris data.This may incur additional data charges.Download QuickGPS when roaming Automatically download ephemeris data when you are out of range of your home network.This may incur additional data charges.Download QuickGPS when connected to PC via ActiveSync Automatically download ephemeris data when it is connected to your computer via ActiveSync. Your computer must be connected to the Internet to download ephemeris data.Exit QuickGPS after downloading Close QuickGPS after satellite data is downloaded. ••••
210 Chapter 11 Finding and Recording Places11.3 HTC FootprintsCapture and relive your journeys with HTC Footprints™. Using Footprints, you can take photos of the places you visited and store their GPS location and other details to your phone. From the Home screen’s Footprints tab, you can then easily flip through the photos and find your favorite places again.You can also access Google™ Maps from Footprints to view a photographed place on the map and even navigate to that location using your phone’s GPS navigation software.What is a footprint?A footprint stores a photo of the location you visited along with the GPS position. You can also add to the footprint more details about the location, such as the phone number, street address, your voice recording, and more.There are two ways to create a footprint. You can either take a photo of your current location, or select a photo from Albums and save it as a footprint.Taking a photo of your location as a footprintYou can use Footprints or the Camera program to take a photo of your location. Ideally, use Footprints so that your GPS position can be determined before the photo is captured.1. On the Home screen, slide to the Footprints tab.2. Tap the New icon ( ) on the upper right side of the screen.3. Footprints then displays a live camera screen. Point the camera at the place of interest and wait for the GPS position to be determined.
Chapter 11 Finding and Recording Places 2114. When the GPS position is displayed on the screen, you can now take a photo of your place of interest.Tips Before taking a photo, you can: • Tap the onscreen Flash Light button to choose a flash mode. For more information about the differences between the flash modes, see “Using the flash light” in Chapter 12. • Change brightness and white balance settings.

212 Chapter 11 Finding and Recording PlacesThe footprint is automatically named with the location name, city, or country where the photo was taken. If the location, city or country cannot be determined, a default name is given. Your footprints are numbered incrementally as you create more footprints.Note Footprints uses a database of cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots to estimate your position when naming the footprint and when determining your location on Google Maps. This database is continually being improved. If your nearest cell tower or Wi-Fi hotspot is new to the database, estimation of your position may be inaccurate. If the footprint name does not reflect your actual location, you can change and enter your own footprint name. See “Editing a footprint” for details.Selecting and saving a photo from Albums as a footprintWhen you select a location’s photo from Albums that is already geotagged with the GPS position, this information will be added to the new footprint.1.
