If your PDA or Smartphone has a built-in GPS, you can decide if you want the position of the broadcast to be available to viewers. The GPS data is dynamically tracked and embedded in the livecast stream.

If your mobile device does not have built-in GPS abilities, you can use a handheld or Bluetooth unit. Connect it to your mobile device. Select the appropriate com port from the SETTINGS screen.

The GPS icons indicate the status of your GPS connectivity. GPS receivers are subject to connectivity issues similar to cell phones and generally work better outside with a clear path to satellites.

You may find that you can livecast fine, but the GPS receiver cannot maintain a stable signal.

When the viewer(s) watch the livecast, either live or on-demand, they will see a dynamic satellite image beside the media window. Waypoints or GPS data are shown as a blue dot (or a blue line if tracked by GPS) in the satellite image. GPS data in text form is available in Video Information.

The GPS co-ordinates can be input into various online mapping services such as Google Earth. This will allow accurate location of the livecast point.

Let your viewers see where you are livecasting from. Use this feature for directions, legal matters and much more.

No. GPS data is embedded in the livecast and is non -editable. This is what makes it appropriate in legal usage. You can, however, add or edit a Waypoint to an existing video.

Waypoints are simply geographic tags associated with a livecast. They can be either continents, countries, cities or even neighborhoods. Waypoints can be input during the livecast, or afterwards.

During Livecast:

Go to SETTINGS screen, change Location selector to Waypoints. Go to the Livecast screen and select waypoint.

After Livecast (from online PC):

Sign in at www.livecast.com. From MY VIDEO, click the EDIT link of the desired livecast. Choose your desired waypoint from the waypoint selector. Waypoints are selectable starting at a continental level. Successive selection will allow finer detail of the waypoint.

Geotagged streaming is one of coolest features available with Livecast. If Waypoints or GPS data is enabled on the broadcast, PC viewers can watch two screens simultaneously - one with the video, the other with mapping displaying the precise location of the livecast. This functions dynamically, so if the video is moving (for example streaming from a car), then the position is dynamically tracked.

No. Mapping should run without additional software installation.
