Missing Location Accuracy data?

@stephen220

Thanks @ksanderson - that’s a very interesting and thoughtful read. And I do understand why accuracy measurements are important to you. Clearly using the app to make observations has advantages in terms of recording accuracy. Unfortunately I find myself almost never using the app, as a phone camera is not appropriate for most of the organisms I photograph (mammals, birds, macro subjects). Interchangeable lens cameras fitted with appropriate telephoto and macro lenses are the only ways to get identifiable images of many of these organisms, and the methods I have found for geotagging those images in real time (camera-phone Bluetooth connections, cameras with onboard GPS chipset) apparently do not record accuracy. Thanks again!

I never use the app, my phone geotags my images including accuracy, I use the browser to add all my observations. If your camera-phone bluetooth connection is using android, you need to make sure you have the ‘record accuracy’ or ‘high accuracy’ settings turned on, for it to record accuracy, otherwise it just adds the lat/long. Cant help with the onboard GPS chipset, but I would look for similar settings you may need to turn on to record accuracy. If you cant find a way you will just have to set it manually for every upload, or you could use a bulk exif editor to add accuracy to all your images for a value you are comfortable with.
