Hello, I’m finding it incredibly difficult to add location data to iNaturalist photos I took with a regular Canon Zoom camera that generally doesn’t have geotagging ability. ** Too bad I can’t auto apply the GPS from one photo in an observation to all the other photos??? *** To get around this, I t…

One workaround that I frequently use for situations like this is that I take a photo of the back of my camera using my phone.

However, I DO use the phone to generate a .GPX file to apply to photos taken on my Canon camera before uploading them to iNat. The App I use on the phone to collect the GPX data is called GeoTracker and i…
