Microsoft Windows Phone 8
At the time of writing Microsoft Windows Phone 8 (8.0.10512.142) does not allow web apps to have access the the phones camera |
Microsoft Surface
As this tablet runs Windows RT 8.1 and has a built in camera you can use internet explorer to add images to your vehicles as you would on a Desktop PC (i.e. after taking the required pictures, browse to "My Pictures and select images to add)
Blackberry OS 7.1
At the time of writing the Blackberry internet browser does not allow Platinum online to run correctly |
Adding More Images
- Adding the first image allows you to add further images, compile a list and then upload all in one go.
Depending on the spec of the camera on your smartphone\tablet these images can be quite large. It is therefore important that you either have enough data on your plan to accommodate this or you are connected to WIFI. |
