Logging location data
My most used 'proper' (non-phone) cameras (Canon 40D and Olympus OMD
EM10) don't have GPS, and I do find it to be a very useful feature. For example, I took 200 photos yesterday for a geography field exercise, and would like to tag the photos to a google map The Olympus will 'talk' to my iPhone 6 after a fashion, but it is clunky. What's the best way to record geodata? -- Cheers, Rob |

What's the best way to record geodata? Perhaps a Garmin GPS 60 series (discontinued) or a Ventus G730 GPS Data Logger (also obsolete). Likely there are more recent equivalents which people can recommend from actually using them (rather than the brochure specification). Perhaps there's a logging program for your phone, but likely it will wear down the battery quickly. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

What's the best way to record geodata? It may or may not suit your ecosystem, but I use: - a track logger on my Android phone (GPS Essentials; http://www.gpsessentials.com/) and/or the track file from my car GPS - a geocoder (Geosetter; http://www.geosetter.de/en/ - I use the beta, available from he www.geosetter.de/geosetter_beta.exe) The workflow goes like this: - Copy image files from camera(s) to folder on computer desktop - Copy trackfiles from phone and / or GPSes to image folder - run geocoder, with a bit of manual assist - import into Lightroom I find that the geotracks I get from my phone are reasonably accurate. You should make sure that your cameras' clocks are set pretty close to the exact time. My personal preference is to put the geocoding data into sidecar files. If you use Lightroom, this will only work with raw files. It does not recognize geodata in sidecar files for .jpgs. -- Joe Makowiec http://makowiec.org/ Email: http://makowiec.org/contact/?Joe Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |

What's the best way to record geodata? On your phone (iPhone/Android). Accuracies of 10 m or better, typically. Outputs in .log (.txt), .kml, etc. Easily viewed on Google Earth, etc. Various programs exist for the iPhone from GPS Kit, GPS Motion X, and many others. A dedicated photo logger (I use an aging AMOD 3080). A dedicated GPS handheld navigator (Garmin, Magellen). You need to sync the camera time as close as possible to UTC time. By time zone or UTC (what I use). Various s/w will "merge" the position to the photos. -- She hummed to herself because she was an unrivaled botcher of lyrics. -Nick (Gone Girl), Gillian Flynn. |

What's the best way to record geodata? get a compatible gps for the camera if it's supported, and for older cameras, carry a logging gps, export it's tracklog and then update the exif. |

Joe Makowiec:
... The workflow goes like this: - Copy image files from camera(s) to folder on computer desktop - Copy trackfiles from phone and / or GPSes to image folder - run geocoder, with a bit of manual assist - import into Lightroom Or try this: € Import photos into Lr € Select "Map" option at top right. € Drag photos to the location on the map at which they were taken. € Works for me. I shoot Canon RAW. One of my Canons, a 6D, has built-in GPS but it is useless to me due to a software flaw--the GPS continues to operate when the camera is turned off, and it kills the battery quickly, so I keep GPS off at all times. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

Except the geocoder I use will automatically sort pictures to the place they were shot. Lightroom won't do that natively, and the extension I found which will do it is clunky. I'd rather have the images geocoded before they go into Lightroom. -- Joe Makowiec http://makowiec.org/ Email: http://makowiec.org/contact/?Joe Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |
