I immediately checked the exif info for pictures I've taken with my previous phone (that broke) and there was no geo-data. I had to get a new phone, a better one, but still only $240, and I've taken a few pictures, but haven't copied them to the computer yet and don't know if it has geo-data or not. It didn't say it did in the advertising. Even though I said I was only a tourist, I like taking pictures with a real camera. With the phone I feel like a tourist squared! But still, when I'm some place with no context, or only taking one or two pictures, or that will be hard to find again, using the phone will be a v. good idea. Thanks all. Possibly my suggestion. Most phones have GPS included, perhaps your does not, or perhaps there's an option to enable geo-tagging in the EXIF data. Let's hope the new phone does. I used to carry round a Nikon DSLR, but that became too heavy and bulky for me I move to a micro-four-thirds system (Panasonic GX7) with which I've been delighted. Of course, I need to geo-tag the pictures so I use a separate GPS USB-sized stick which I've found very reliable. Having now upgraded to a Moto G5 plus phone I find the images taken by that very acceptable, typically for outdoor shots, but also for indoor shots of restaurant food. There's not 18 x 20 quality, of course, but adequate for my needs. My latest addition is a very compact P&S camera with a 30:1 zoom (Panasonic TZ90), the zoom overcoming the limitations of the phone! -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |
