I purchased a TG-6 since it has GPS, my expectation being that, with GPS turned ON my uploaded observations would include Location data. However, after a good bit of trial and error and searching, I still can’t get location data to populate for photos that I upload to iNaturalist. Record GPS locati…

[image] thegardenhound: However, after a good bit of trial and error and searching, I still can’t get location data to populate for photos that I upload to iNaturalist. Record GPS location is turned ON for the camera. I’m using Olympus Workspace to move photos from the camera to my hard drive. …

I have the TG-4 and in my experience it can take a while for it to get your location and also save accurate locations to my photos, so I tend to just leave it off. I think the issue here is either a) coordinates were never saved to the image or b) the coordinates were stripped somehow between your c…

I do not have an Olympus, but the GPS data is stored in the photo in the JPG. Unless you use a RAW or any other format, the data is stored in a separate file with the same filename. When copying a file, you can check the file has all the Exif information (which store all the camera information inclu…

make sure the the GPS icon on the bottom left side of the screen is solid and not blinking. I find it helps if I turn the camera on and leave it on the roof of my car for a minute or so and let it triangulate while I get ready. once its locked on it usually won’t lose GPS unless you get into a dee…

I also have a TG-6 and I’ve noticed that it often takes quite a while for it to figure out the GPS coordinates. If I take several photos of something, often only the last 1 or 2 photos will have the GPS coordinates encoded in the JPEG. I would suggest turning on the camera at least 10 seconds before…

I have a TG-4. It takes it a long time to acquire a GPS location, and when it does the location is sometimes very inaccurate (I live in coastal california and once got a location in Arizona from the thing). Not only that, it caches the last location for an hour or so; meaning that once it finds a l…

I have a TG-6, and after much trial and error, I’ve now given up on using the GPS of this camera (or more properly, waiting for a GPS location to be derived, since I still keep it active just in case it actually gets a fix before I move on). It takes anywhere from ten seconds to over a minute for t…

I have a Sony DSCHX400V and it is fairly quick to lock GPS, fast enough that I never bother to check if it’s fixed a position and roughly 1 in 100 observations doesn’t get a fix or is noticeably off by greater than 5m. However, it is a bridge camera so has to mechanically push out it’s lens and go t…

There’s two ways of adding location data on the TG-6. If you use the “Log” switch on top of the camera, it stores GPS info as a separate file. You then use an app (such as the OI.Track app) to apply locations to the images. If you turn on the “Record GPS location” feature in the menu, the location …
