meesaeng Posted October 27, 2014 Share #21 Posted October 27, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Go to the shop, try your GPS on another camera, try another GPS on your camera. Send the faulty item (GPS or camera) to be repaired. The fault I had was in the camera, a cable unplugged (same symptoms as yours). Thanks a lots. Finally, I found out something wrong with the multifunction unit. Luckily its not my camera. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Hi meesaeng, Take a look here Leica M240 - GPS on Multifuntion Hand Grip. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Exodies Posted October 27, 2014 Share #22 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) My objective is to have location searchable in the exif data. Of course you don't need to know the coordinates of the Eiffel Tower but it is nice to pull all of your photographs taken in one small area into an album. Also illustrating a walk is easier if the data is available. Also, Jon Pop, data, like chocolate, is never useless. Call me stupid for trying to achieve this with the MFG and I won't disagree A small Garmin Etrex in my bag runs for 8 hours on one charge, it doesn't change position to "nowhere" if it loses satellites, it works in bus, train and plane, it's accurate (except in concrete canyons) and can update the exifs with a few clicks in lightroom. It prolly works in China too... Just noticed I keep calling it the MFG instead of MHG. Someone tried to bring this to my attention and I just assumed he was a trouble maker. Sorry. It prolly has a reality distortion field caused by the powerful radio receivers inside it. Edited October 27, 2014 by Exodies Not related to Dahl's BFG.

hsittel Posted October 30, 2014 Share #23 Posted October 30, 2014 @exodies, #19: Both the GPS-device in Leica's handgrip as well as the Google position are obviously correct. The reference system for modern navigation is WGS-84, which takes into account the spheroid shape of the earth, continental movement, tidal forces and so on. So the surface independent zero or Prime Meridian is more than 100 m off the historic (tourist) line! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite interesting but does it explain why Exodies' GPS placed the photo south of the M25 in the Surrey/Kent hinterlands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted October 30, 2014 Share #25 Posted October 30, 2014 That's quite interesting but does it explain why Exodies' GPS placed the photo south of the M25 in the Surrey/Kent hinterlands. Could be that that was the last location the GPS picked up a signal. If that was the route the camera had traveled. Else I don't know. The new Apple IOS where the images are located by known locations is quite neat. We will see more of that type of organizing in the future.

Exodies Posted October 30, 2014 Share #26 Posted October 30, 2014 I had been walking round the park for a few hours before going into the museum courtyard, it should have settled down. I was expecting the 100 m difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gautier Posted November 8, 2014 Share #27 Posted November 8, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) But shoot fast, the GPS' last known location is wiped from memory five minutes after loss of satellites thanks to some maniac firmware beta testers.I haven't upgraded my M 240 for this reason...

Exodies Posted November 9, 2014 Share #28 Posted November 9, 2014 The M's GPS isn't always wrong. In this location it agrees with two Garmin machines. Values recalculated to normalise format using GPS Coordinate Converter, Maps and Info ETREX N 49 37.283 E 6 09.567 Montana N 49 37.282 E 6 09.566 M N 49 37.283 E 6 09.567 Welcome, dear visitor!

Peter Kilmister Posted January 11, 2018 Share #29 Posted January 11, 2018 It seems that unless you live near the Tropic of Cancer your GPS is unreliable. As Cruise and Tomahawk missiles use GPS then please expect one through your bedroom window if someone hits the trigger. Scary! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
