Then why not use BaseCamp. It works a treat.

Thank you for the tip, I did not know this program.
Unfortunately, it does not seem to do this. It just puts the photos to a location on the map, not on the GPX track. It does not seem to consider the time.
You need to right-click on the track and select the action from the context menu.
Then follow instructions in the wizard.

(I moved the previous 11 posts from here becuase they’re really about how to use non-iNat tools to geotag photos)
Yet another geotagger is GpsPrune

I’m a PC user, and I use GeotagNinja to sync my Camera pictures with the GPS log from my android phone.
The log itself is produced by GPSlogger, a very effective app that I usually let recording 24/7, that way I NEVER have a picture that is not geolocated !

Hi,
Are you refering to this app ? : https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.mendhak.gpslogger/index.html
I’m looking for a logging solution with low energy overhead who could work while another app is already requiring precise location (like an activity tracking app) and I’m wondering if this app could do the job :-)
Pretty much any GPS tracking app will make a track that you can use to georeference your photos later. The big problem is (1) the operating system, that does things like “battery optimisation” - turn off your app- or (2), wierd permissions in the app, including tell dome kid in Nigeria your bank details.
I use ATLOGIS Austopo, or whatever country you are in. Each trip, turn on tracking, and later email the track as a GPX to my computer. But lots of apps will do the same.
While that’s happening, I’m simultaneously using Avenza and HandyGPS.
Thanks for the tutorial. My DSLR has GPS, and I’ve always wondered what position and how to set it. Thank you so much.
Make & model of camera? Likely set in the cameras menu.
e.g. for Canon 6D

My Camera: Nikon D7000
The Nikon D7000 doesn’t have a built in GPS. It supports the optional GP-1 receiver which I dont believe they make anymore, but I recall that some 3rd party manufacturers make something similar.

I have to apologize. My camera is the D5300. In the previous post, which I wrote on my smartphone, the autocorrect inserted a different model than the one I typed.

Nikon evidently disabled the GPS on cameras meant for markets like China, so …

GPS is not permitted in China. There is a local system called “BeiDou (BDS),” just as Europe is developing a local system called “Galileo,” and India and Japan are also developing their own. But since I don’t fly, I doubt I’ll ever go to those countries, or to other countries not accessible by ship or train.
I’m a user from China but am now outside China. As far as I know, GPS is still permitted in China, but the problem is there are some kind of regulations about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_geographic_data_in_China . (My Chinese friends often suffer from this, like users taking lots of camera photos years ago. They often choose to find one location with accuracy more than 1km, and place all observations on this point.)

Thanks for the reply! I knew there were limitations for some things in China, including GPS, because years ago (2010), I attended a symposium on geomapping using open-source software, and they talked about these limitations.
