On the website observation uploader, when I upload photos taken with my camera with a built in GPS the accuracy is not added. This has resulted in almost all my observations having “Accuracy: Not recorded” whilst they are seldom more then a few meters away from the point where I recorded the observa…

I’m pretty sure the TG-4 doesn’t record horizontal accuracy, so this wouldn’t be a bug with iNat. I have that camera, but unfortunately lost the annoying proprietary (grrr) charging cable so I can’t test with it. I’ve also seen it record some wildly incorrect locations so I ended up just turning of…

Does your camera record accuracy? If it does, you may need to send an example image or two to the staff at help@inaturalist.org . (the forum will modify the original image) You’re right that it would be a bug - this feature was added in 2018. https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/commit/6633cf76…

I see my camera does not log accuracy [image]

I use an Olympus TG-5 I am not sure that it records accuracy? I will send a photo to the help email but I below is an screen shot of the GPS details [image]

[image] optilete: what should be the correct value for Accuracy From the manual of my camera. So 10 meter seems about right. [image]

If your device doesn’t record a specific value, I would not assume it is the “best case” scenario in the manual. GPS devices can have error of 100s of meters in some cases when conditions are poor (cloud cover, canopy cover, fewer satellites available, close to geographic features like cliffs or val…

I am still of the opinion that the camera GPS should be considered more reliable than the picking a site off of Google imagery. As discussed in another forum post (I can’t find it now) the cameras take a while to pick up satellites and sometimes don’t pick them up at all - in this time the camera wi…

[image] robert_taylor: Could iNat record that these observations was recorded with a GPS so that this data does not get overlooked or even tossed out by some data users? I’m not sure iNat would be able to infer whether your camera / GPS device added the coordinates or if they were manually ad…

[image] robert_taylor: Perhaps this should be a feature request if this is not considered a bug? If it is not stored in your photo it is a FR for the manufacturer of your camera. I should say the correct value “Accuracy: Not recorded” cause it is not stored or measured at this moment.
