Finding and Recording Places 193
10.3 HTC Footprints™
HTC Footprints™ provides an easy way to record favorite places and revisit those
places. A footprint consists of a photo you take of a location such as a restaurant, a
sightseeing destination, or other memorable place, stored together with a precise
GPS position and other information about that location such as the street address
and phone number.
The next time you want to visit the same place, simply access the footprint. You can
then dial the phone number, view the location in Google Maps, or access the GPS
navigation software to navigate to the location.
Create a footprint
To create a new footprint, you can either take a photo of your current location, or
use a photo from Album. If the photo from Album is geotagged with a precise GPS
position, this is shown as the GPS position on your new footprint.
To take a photo and add location information
1. Do one of the following:
Press the FOOTPRINTS button.
On the Home screen, slide to the Footprints tab, tap the category that
best describes your current location, and touch the New icon on the
upper right side of the screen.
Tap Start > Programs > Footprints, tap the category that best describes
your current location, and tap Menu > New.
Note For more information about categories in Footprints, see “Find a previously
visited place” in this chapter.
2. Point the camera at the scene you want to record location information
for. Footprints starts to use GPS to search for your position. The GPS signal
strength is indicated by the bars at the bottom left of the screen.
