Understanding Q2 GPS functionality

[John D.]

Advertisement (gone after registration)

I just got a Q2 and I'm trying to add GPS data to images.

Can anyone confirm the following? I just want to be sure.

• There is no on-camera GPS functionality with the Q2
• GPS data is only added to photos that are taken remotely with the Leica Fotos app.
• Specifically, there is no way to connect to one's device (iPhone, etc.), leave it open, and have the connected Q2 retrieve GPS data while one takes photos with the camera
• Adding GPS data does not require the "pro" version of the app.
• GPS is stripped from the small preview the non-pro version allows one to share. 

Thanks,

John

Yes. Use the app GPS4Cam.

...and there's a lot more discussion and information on the Leica FOTOS App forum.

If you use Apple and want to buy from App store, then
