Modifying HTC Footprints timestamps.
If you have a HTC smartphone you may well have used the HTC Footprints application. This application lets you create your own virtual ‘footprints’ around the world with geo-tagged pictures, web links, timestamps and Google maps integration. It’s a pretty slick little app.
There’s a problem though - you can’t easily change the date of ‘footprints’ added after the fact. So for instance, if you get a phone tomorrow and add all of your ‘footprints’ (for which you can import your own pictures and enter the GPS locations), these will all be created with date and timestamps corresponding to when you created them, not the date of your visit to the place. I have seen many forum posts asking how you can ‘fix’ this.
