I've taken a lot of pictures while on holiday, and although their geotagged location is shown and placed on Google maps I would like to be able to share these maps with an option to find these locations via GPS.
To reiterate: I can share the maps with the pictures but there doesn't seem to be anyway of getting directions to them.
Can anyone suggest an app or a way of doing this?
You're going to have to go into more detail because I dont understand the issue.
disclaimer - I am on a custom rom...
But if I open a photo in gallery, and do a "view on map", It loads in google maps app. If I then click into the location, I can share it (as a link).
This link opens in google maps app or opens google maps on any computer browser and "get directions" can be used.
If this isn't what you're talking about, please be more explicit about what you are asking and how you want to do things, because I dont understand
Also, please pst questions in the Q&A section

I've taken pictures on holiday and geotagged them with the GPS.
I have uploaded them to Picasa which has placed them on Google maps at the geotagged locations.
I can share the folder with friends, and they can view my map with my pictures shown at the locations.
However.
Although they can see the geotagged locations of each picture on the map, they cannot get directions to them.
Oh and as this is not a ROM issues I believe this belongs in here under 'General Chat'
All questions in relation to the S3 go in Q&A. General is not for questions.
Although, your question has nothing to do with the S3 or even android at all. Your question is a picasa question
But you're right, Picasa provides no way of doing this. I was frustrated earlier this month when I geotagged some photos I took with my SLR and uploaded them to picasa.
Once in Picasa, the best option I can suggest is click the "Full details" link which gives you the longitude and latitude, which if you paste into google maps, becomes something you can get directions to.... Its not very good. A glaring omission I'd say.
If you had a Google+ account, your picasa albums would convert into that instead and when you share from Google+, the point on the map is clickable and opens in google maps, with "Get Directions"

No it doesn't, I've explained this to you both via a report closing message and a PM, I don't think it needs discussing further frankly.

Sorry I've only just seen your report and thank you for moving it into the correct area :good:
So a few Months down the line is there any new/updated apps/services that can give you directions to Geotagged photos?
Basically I do a lot of exploring, and would love to be able to convert geotag information to directions that I can share with other people
Nothing since Google+ as in my last post.

I posted this in the General Android Q & A forum without a response so I'll post my question here as well. I have been having issues with Google Voice Search recognizing some of my commands. The main problem is having the app recognize the names of some of my contacts. If the contact has a "normal" name with a "normal" spelling there isn't any problems, but any unique names or spellings do not work. I figured with time the personalized recognition option would remedy this but it has not. After some searching and taking suggestions from XDA and other forums, I decided to post my own topic to see if there is any help to be had.
I have made sure that all of my contacts are synced to the Google servers. The other popular answer is to clear your speech data from the Google dashboard. But I cannot find that option anywhere. The threads I've read say go to the Google Dashboard, scroll down to the Speech section, and click anonymize data.
My Google dashboard does not have a Speech section. I know the personalize speech recognition is on in the voice search app. Does anyone know where this data is in the dashboard or of a reason why it would not being getting saved? The only thing I can think of is that I have my Web Search History turned off, but those two things seem not to be related. Any help would be appreciated.
Go to: https://www.google.com/dashboard/b/0/?hl=en
Sign in then scroll down to Speech.

Thanks for the response, but my Google Dashboard doesn't have a Speech section. When I go to the dashboard the headings I have are:
Accout, Me on the Web, Profile, AdSense, Alerts, Android devices, Buzz, Calendar, Chrome sync, Contacts, Docs, Gmail, Google+, iGoogle, Latitude, Maps, Orkut, Picasa Web Albums, Play Music, Play Store, Reader, Talk, Tasks, Voice, Web History, Webmaster Tools, and YouTube.
Since my original post I have enabled Web History for searches only. Still nothing.
I have the same issue with a few as well. I just created another contact with their contact information but for the name I used a nickname that it recognized.
If I tell it to call my wife using her name it's hit and miss so I created a contact for her using "my wife" and it calls her everytime. Sometimes you have to be creative.
Good luck and let us know your solution.

I've now made a work around using your suggestion. I went into my Google Contacts and created a new group that I'm not displaying on my phone. I filled this group with the contacts that I have problems with, and updated them with more conventional spellings for their names. Voice Search still has access to these contacts but they don't show up in my phone book. Seems to be the best I can do until I figure out why Google isn't recording my voice searches for personalization...
Personalize speech regonition isnt working
I am having the same issue as the previous posters and it is driving me crazy. Very few people seem to be experiencing this problem or at least very few are posting about it.
I AM able to turn on "personalize speech recognition" via the setting in voice search, but on my google dashboard the speech section is missing and I see no evidence that google speech recognition accuracy is improving in any way. Ive tried clearing the app data and enabling search history without success.
Im running ICS stock rom on an HTC vivid with ATT service. I have voice search 3.0.1. The app store only has version 2.1.4. Id gladly uninstall 3.0.1 and install 2.1.4 from the app store if it would fix this problem but im worried uninstalling voice search could cause additional problems. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
thanks
I can't find Personalized Recognition option in Google search, after this last update?!?
Hello to everyone who is using IM app ChatON, whether on Samsung mobiles or others.
Was anyone able to find a way to clear all the shared pics, animated mssgs, vds etc etc that always stay in trunk and return back even when start a new chat, after deleting the old chat.
To explain in detail, when we chat with someone using ChatON and share some pics, vds or etc etc, which stay in trunk of that chat window do not have the option to delete them like in WatsApp. But when delete the chat, there is a pop up that says "All your messages with trunk will be deleted permanently" looks promising. But when we start a new chat with the same person whom we have recently shared pics, vds etc etc, all the trunk is restored. Does it mean all our shared data is stored in Samsung servers? (It does not sound very good if its true ) Then is there anyway to delete the trunk Permanently without anything being restored when we start a new chat.
I have posted this thread here because this particular app has increased the quality of the way we chat unlike in any other IM apps like watsapp, viber, tango, IMO, etc etc. Its fast and super eye candy. So just wanted to know if we have a solution for the problem I mentioned above. One should use it before commenting negative about this app . Tried to find any stored data of this app using Root Explorer, but could not find any and could not find any solution anywhere. But then, after complaining about this issue (this is a issue to me), and no reply from ChatON or Samsung even after 9 days, I have decided to take help from XDA.
Moderators and Senior members, please excuse me if this thread is irrelevant to XDA, and please delete the thread, if you wish so. I just wanted to know, how the app functions so that we could tweak it, in order to make it more secure.
Whenever I do an image search in Google Now the thumbnails load but when I tap an image it won't load the higher res version. Anyone else have this issue and know a fix?

image issue
DID you saved your images properly,these issue often comes when images are not saved properly, I will suggest you should use Picassa for Pictures,
Google+ can be set to upload the images automatically. I don't think Picassa supports that. However Google owns Picassa so maybe the pictures Google Plus uploads go to Picassa . Since Picassa is also the same thing as Google+ he would be better off using the Google+. Picassa uploads directly to Google+ so no use in having 2 doing the same thing. You get 15GB storage with Google+ BTW with the new upgrades they did. I was legacy and bought 25GB for $2.49 a month and now they gave me a free 25GB so I now have 50GB total for pictures in HiRes.
I'm talking about when I do a Web search for images. When I tap a pic to view it enlarges the thumbnail but won't load the higher res version. Seems to be a Google search/now issue because if I try this in Dolphin browser it's fine.
Hey everyone, how do I sign into Themer? On my Galaxy S4 it gives me the option so sign in with Google or Facebook. I have neither. IF I DID HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO HOWEVER I would get a Google account just for Themer... but I don't know if that is possible. When I select to sign into Themer with Google, it tells me to choose a Google account when there is none on the device. What do? (derp) Thanks in advance.

Hi there, we'd advise creating a simple Google account. We use this feature generally for security purposes as well as to display unread email count notifications (as the general population now use Gmail as their preferred email account).
Not everyone wants to participate in social media. I find it disappointing that Themer would require I do so, and is a deal-breaker for me.
Without a google account an android device has only half of its functions. I uderstand google+ but a normal google account?

We understand that it's not for everyone, but it's the best way for us help find new users as well as to keep Themer free. We will soon add options to remove this service.

If you don't have a Google account you may as well not be using android. "Google account" does not equal "social media". Without a Google account you can't even use the Play Store.

You're correct. I realized that I had been confusing google+ with my normal google account. My bad here. I had assumed that since it was requesting me to sign in with my google account or facebook that it was social media related. I, in fact, do have a google account and can access the play store - which is how downloaded Themer to try in the first place.
I'd now like to know why it needs me to sign in with either account. How does that help Themer find new users and keep it free? I'm not being an ass here, just trying to learn new things.

To be honest it's mainly for security reasons on our side. If someone breaches our servers, we can link it to a verified account and take action where necessary. In terms of social, when you log in you might have selected the box to receive emails from Themer about new updates and very important events. In this way, people who have uninstalled Themer because of some reason, might find that it now includes something that they've always wanted. Therefore it helps introduce 'new' users and in turn the more users we have the greater chance we have to generate resources (through the sponsored apps in the Smart Categories, which can also be turned off if the user desires).

Thanks a lot for your help. I was also facing the same problem.
Google account is a deal breaker
Hi,
For me this is a deal breaker.
I can follow your reasoning. But how can you give the same app the rights to read (display) all your text-messages, contacts & location together with a personalized login (be it google or facebook).
I know that American mentality is different in this case than German mentality: but I think it is insane to give access to all of these information at once...
I'm not the only paranoid here (if you think I am) but I know a lot of others (Germans) who think the same.
Sorry of I'm too frank: if you want to reach more Germans with your app, then you need to rethink this log-in dialogue.
btw: yes, you can use Android (CyanogenMod) without any kind of account. Works great
Yours, toggle

Hi Toggler,
We understand your concern, as we are simply a launcher. However, that isn't really the case. As all of our widgets are built in, we require these permissions to allow the user to view his/her unread SMS/Email/Missed Call counts on the homescreen. We don't store any of the information, we simply display it. We've now actually had to remove the Dialer Widget to reduce the number of permissions required, but we still need a few to improve the user's experience. Once Facebook introduces anonymous login, we'll implement that straight away, however right now we need it for security reasons on our end (in then breaching theme servers).
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I've tried making this inquiry in the normal support.google.com forums and (for no particular reason) then tried stackoverflow for the last couple days, but I get no replies. I've even asked for suggestions where to post this thread. Perhaps the topic is relevant here? If not, I'd appreciate a tip on where to move it. That said...
An HTML5 ePaper I read has a function that lets us open a single article and send a url/link in an email from that open article. When I hit the article's typical Android "share" icon, and then select "Use my browser's Email Client" from that form, I can choose Gmail or Outlook. The problem is that when I select Gmail, the url in the email gets truncated and doesn't work.
Here's an (imitation) url in the Outlook email that works:
https://news-paper.com/?publink=2c7e0cc11_2457643
Notice that there's a unique identifier (ie. "=2c7e0cc11_2457643") after the word "publink" in that url.
However, when I select Gmail to handle the newspaper article, the url in the email gets truncated and doesn't work. In an (imitation) email it looks like this:
https://news-paper.com/?publink
Notice there's NO unique identifier (ie. "=2c7..." ) after the word "publink" in the url.
Any idea what is going wrong here with Gmail truncating the url? I'd like to help the ePaper publisher's tech support people fix this, or better yet, give the link to this thread so they can discuss this coder to coder.
Again, please advise if there is a more appropriate venue to post this issue. I appreciate your help.
Regards...
