What happens if there is no GPS fix when I want to capture an image?

What are the default settings for Location Tagging?
  • This is set to Off, and need to be set to On before Location Tagging is possible. See Default Settings slide for full details.
 
If someone sends me a Location Tagged image, can i see where they took it?

Does Location Tagging reduce battery life?
  • Running GPS whenever the camera is running does consume more power. However, the GPS automatically times-out if no GPS fix was obtained to minimse power consumption.

  • No, there is no PC software to do this.
 
Is this the same as Location Capture application on betalabs?
  • The end-result is the same.... Automatically Location Tagged images. The betalabs application is a standalone app. whereas in Nokia N78/N82 it is completely integrated into the camera app.
 
Why by default, Location Tagging feature is switched off, ie Record location= off Background
1. Privacy
  • There are potential privacy issues. Some users will not want Location information recorded for their images, and it should be a conscious decision by the user to switch this feature on.


2. Packet data charges
  • A small amount of essential packet data is transferred over the network whenever A-GPS is active in order to get the assistance data (that’s how it works). There may be data charges associated with this.


3. Power consumption
  • Whenever the A-GPS is active, power consumption increases. In order to give best battery life straight out of the box, A-GPS is disabled when camera is on.
