I geo-tag all my photos. The GPS has performed well until yesterday.
I took about 1000 photos across a 100 mile birding trip. Roughly 900 photos were locked to one single geo location, even though the photos were many miles apart.
I am always Mode 2 for GPS.
The camera was powered on all day.
I was outdoors all day, but some shots were from my car window.
I took about 600 photos in one area over a range of 1/4 mile. I then want to another location about 60 miles away, and took another 400 shots over a range of 1 mile. All 1000 photos were assigned the same geo-tag at a spot in the first location.
I contacted Canon CPS. All they said was that GPS signals may be interrupted or not available in some locations. No help.
I understand that there will be times that the satellite signal will be lost. But the camera should not record a geo-tag from data that is an hour old, as it did to me.
There should be at least a 5-minute time-out so that unrefreshed data is not used.
That would be called a firmware bug.
Anybody else out there have this experience???
