11.3 HTC Footprints
Capture and relive your journeys with HTC Footprints™. Using
Footprints, you can take photos of the places you visited and store
their GPS location and other details to your phone. From the Home
screen’s Footprints tab, you can then easily flip through the photos
and find your favorite places again.
You can also access Google™ Maps from Footprints to view a
photographed place on the map and even navigate to that location
using your phone’s GPS navigation software.
Note The Footprints tab is hidden from the Home screen by default. To learn
how to show hidden tabs, see “Personalizing Home Screen Tabs” in
Chapter 3.
What is a footprint?
A footprint stores a photo of the location you visited along with the
GPS position. You can also add to the footprint more details about
the location, such as the phone number, street address, your voice
recording, and more.
There are two ways to create a footprint. You can either take a photo
of your current location, or select a photo from Albums and save it as
a footprint.
Taking a photo of your location as a footprint
You can use Footprints or the Camera program to take a photo of
your location. Ideally, use Footprints so that your GPS position can be
determined before the photo is captured.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Footprints tab.
2. Tap the New icon ( ) on the upper right side of the screen.
