I was reading about the software will be implemented on OM in the wiki and I found that http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Picture_Viewer.
I was thinking about gps and usb host capabilities of the Neo Freerunner, and that nearby any digital photo camera is recogniced as usb mass storage so if you plug a digital camera to the usb port of the neo we can geomark writing the exif information in the pictures. To be able to do this a gps traker log has to be recorded previously on the neo (for sure this will be a default feature on the neo) , the digital camera has to be time syncroniced with the neo (any digital camera can change his hour/date in the setup) and that's all!!!, because there is software already developed and GPLed that can do the rest gpscorrelate http://freefoote.dview.net/linux_gpscorr.html Can do the matching on the gps data loged (GPX format)and the exif time information of the picture and writes the gps data in the exif tag of the picture GPSBabel http://www.gpsbabel.org Able to translate any Gps format(including raw NMEA 0183 sentences) to a lot of other formats (GPX included) Exiv2 http://www.exiv2.org/ Library to read/write exif information So the "only" work to do is to integrate all this in the Picture Viewer maybe with some scripting or directily ind the Picture viewer code. This can make the neo a very usefull companion to any digital camera. Once the Picture Viewer development is more advanced I will like to be involved to include this feature to it So I got a few questions, Any usb issue known? I gess the 100mA power usb host will be enough to use whit the camera (maybe not to charge the battery but to read/write the photos) I have to edit the wiki page to include this feature in the picture viewer or first it has to be discussed here to know if the community wants it or not? Is the picture viewer the real place to do that? If the picture viewer can select and perform actions(rotate,delete,...)can add geocatch action to them. But any othe idea that simplifies the procces will be wellcome An geocatch deamon to automatic geocath the picures once the camera is pluged on the neo if gps data in this time frame is available is a complementary solution 24 hour of gps data log how big (in bytes or multiples) can be? I have no expercience with gps tracking so I hope I have not said any "no sense" idea Keep on going, guys/girls!!! ______________________________________________ ¿Con Mascota por primera vez?
