It will provide you with a barcode that you photograph with your camera, and that allows it to compare the times. Then I actually found another one ( gps4cam) that doesn’t even require you to manually sync the time on your camera to your phone. It works by the time, so you have to make sure your camera and phone time match up beforehand. I came across a phone app ( Geotag Photos Pro) that will save GPS information as it runs, and then later you can use software that will automatically combine that GPS information with your photos on your computer. Mobile Apps to the Photo Geotagging Rescue I often turn the camera on, quickly snap a shot, and turn it off. Now this isn’t so great when hiking, and especially backpacking, because I do what I can to preserve battery! That means I don’t want to wait to take a photo. Presumably it has to lock onto the signal of several GPS satellites, enough to calculate an accurate position. Tom mentioned that when he turns his camera on, he has to wait a minute or so for the GPS to activate. I thought I wanted one too, to make geotagging a no-brainer, but now I’m not so sure. My buddy, Tom, has a fairly new camera that does. My camera doesn’t have a GPS receiver to geotag photos with latitude and longitude in the Exif data like my phone does. It’s neat to look back and see what spot it was taken at, and then also see photos from other hikers from nearby locations. I like having my hiking photos geotagged so that I can upload them to Panoramio and have them show up in Google Earth, or upload them to Flickr and have a map on the photo page. I think I figured out a solution to geotagging photos for my next backpacking trip.
