Hi,

I'm using ArcPad 10 SP1 on a tablet. I have a problem that when capturing photos, using either the photo button or the photo point button the stored photo gps location is actually shifted by over 120m away from my current location. If I capture a point into a point layer using the GPS capture button it places it exactly where the GPS says I am so I'm confused why the photo locations are massively wrong?
It seems to have nothing to do with the GPS side of things as this works. Is there a known problem with this????? Anyone have a fix???? I'm desperate!

Thanks,

Dave.

Have you checked that
1. your map has a projection
2. the Datum specified in the Datum Tab under GPS Preferences match the one used by the GPS
3. that the specified datum is "valid" (click on the (i)nformation icon mark next to the GPS Datum label and verify that the numbers used in the datum configuration is correct.
