Used to be able to till 6 months ago but now l cant insert pictures to the gps team site off my mobile phone. I travel a lot and so, l prefer not to take my pc on my trips. I have tried a few mobile browsers and reduced the picture size to no avail.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Check if the picture is in JPEG format. I got this issue with my mac when I tried to upload pictures in the mac default .png image format, which may be what an iPhone makes as well?

So, you have found this problem too John.
With all the smart gurus we should find someone who has a solution. I ll be at Burrum heads next week. Would love to have solved it by then.
Thank you .

I think I have found the solution. I have been cropping the pictures too square and the gpsteamchallenge site didn't like that. Once l made it more rectangular it went fine.
There's a huge difference between taking a pc or just a mobile phone on a trip.
Forgot to mention I use the mini motion off which l can download onto my phone via wifi in seconds then another minute and upload to the teamchallenge.
Very convenient.

It this something to do with the size of the file. When I take screen shots on my phone it produces quite large files. The images for GPSTC need to be less than 2MB (I think).

Yes I reduce the size of images if I'm posting photos. Sometimes it won't upload properly and it's usually because are too big.
It just comes up with a cracked image logo..
