FeralCoton Posted October 14, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 14, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I enjoy geotagging photos for no real reason. I’ve found it easiest with an app n the iPhone. (Even if I use my T, the gps,is tedious and sucks camera battery life.). I used to use gps4cam, but it seems to have gotten defective in exporting coordinates. I’d recommend geotagr. It has a fairly good interface and will automatically save a gpx file to any cloud service. Then all,you do is import into Lightroom maps and you’re good to go.

Advertisement Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Hi FeralCoton, Take a look here Geotag. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Echo63 Posted October 20, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 20, 2017 The multifunction grip has built in GPS - I got an amazing deal on one (bought for the flash socket and because i have huge hands) having the ability to see where pics were taken is incredibly handy, when trying to get back to the same spot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeralCoton Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted October 21, 2017 A handgrip would be good as well. Since I always have my phone I figured it saved weight and camera battery power to use an app. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycym Posted October 21, 2017 Share #4 Posted October 21, 2017 I've been using a Garmin eTrex and RoboGeo on Windows for years now. Works well for me. Really annoyed by the bug where the 240 sets lat and long to 0 for all non-geotagged images. So every non geotagged image appear to be taken somewhere off Africa. I mentioned to Leica in London and they "found nothing wrong" Leica's prelaunch testing is quite poor in my opinion and I'm not the only one who thinks this. Ah well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeralCoton Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted October 22, 2017 Does the 240 even write gps coords? In Lightroom mine show as I tagged unless I load the track log and tag them Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycym Posted October 22, 2017 Share #6 Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) It defaults to 0,0 rather than blank lat and long. When you attempt to manually add the co-ores afterwards use RoboGeo using GoogleEarth, the application will read the embedded co-offs which somewhere in theAtlantic on the Equator off Africa. I can add a screen shot when I get back to my PC Edited October 22, 2017 by terrycym Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marchyman Posted October 23, 2017 Share #7 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) It defaults to 0,0 rather than blank lat and long. Which is, IMHO, a bug on Leica's part. 0N 0W is a valid, if unusual, coordinate. Leica has no business writing the tag to the metadata with bogus data.

FeralCoton Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted October 23, 2017 I’ll have to check. I hadn’t noticed this on my m240-p. I agree the fields should be empty Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodies Posted October 23, 2017 Share #9 Posted October 23, 2017 The M 240 does write nowhere to the location (ie blank) not zero. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted October 23, 2017 Share #10 Posted October 23, 2017 The M 240 does write nowhere to the location (ie blank) not zero. The M (Typ 240) writes (0,0) to both DNG and JPG files, even when no GPS receiver is attached. That's a gross error, much comparable to the famous millenium bug. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted October 23, 2017 Share #12 Posted October 23, 2017 This is the EXIF entry I see when viewing an OOC Jpeg taken with an M (Typ 240) which has no GPS device attached: Welcome, dear visitor!

Exodies Posted October 23, 2017 Share #13 Posted October 23, 2017 I suppose V is for void Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycym Posted October 23, 2017 Share #14 Posted October 23, 2017 Hasn't it written 0,0 to the EXIF? This is plain incorrect and I don't understand why Leica fobbed me off. Damn, I could reprogram their code if they're not willing to! It's three lines of code! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycym Posted October 23, 2017 Share #15 Posted October 23, 2017 I suppose V is for void Or maybe it hasn't recognised GPS from a multi-function grip? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted October 23, 2017 Share #16 Posted October 23, 2017 Or maybe it hasn't recognised GPS from a multi-function grip? In the case discussed above, there was no multi function grip present. I do not own such a thing, and I personally made the picture in the Basel Zoo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycym Posted October 23, 2017 Share #17 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) That's my point, the camera did not see the multi-function grip because none was attached and wrote that info (the fact that no grip was attached) to the EXIF Edited October 23, 2017 by terrycym Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted October 23, 2017 Share #18 Posted October 23, 2017 In my opinion, it does not matter if the letter "V" stands for void or violet or vapour; none of the software I tried so far interpreted the field this way, and every single GPS-aware software I used with pictures out of my M (Typ 240) located the pictures right here: Welcome, dear visitor!

terrycym Posted October 23, 2017 Share #19 Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks Philipp, good to know I'm not the only one with this issue. BTW my job is to test software so I understand now to define use cases when testing software. Heh, I'd even offer my services to Leica as a beta tester but I doubt they would offer me a role somehow. I beta test a MAJOR piece of photo editing software and you'd be amazed what I and my fellow testers find! The company is also very proactive in the whole beta testing Malachi and take on a lot of our feature suggestions as well fix bugs wefwe find. In fact, a major release was delay by a week because of a bug I found and the time taken to fix it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodies Posted October 23, 2017 Share #20 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) If the GPS status field says “measurement void” then why is your software reading the rest of the GPS fields? Edited October 23, 2017 by Exodies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
