9.4 Using 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, etc., 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 or view the location in
Google Maps.

Creating a Footprint

1. Press HOME, then tap

> Footprints.

2. Tap New Footprint.

Note My Location sources options in Settings need to be selected to be

able to determine your GPS location. You will be asked to turn them

on if the options are turned off.

3. Point the camera at the scene you want to show the location.

Footprints starts to use GPS to search for your position.

Tip

To change brightness and white balance settings before you take a
photo, press MENU, then tap Brightness or White Balance, and then
choose a setting.

4. Press the TRACKBALL to capture the photo.

Notes • If your GPS position has not been found yet, you are asked whether

to find the position on Google Maps, continue the GPS search, or stop
the GPS search.
