GPS for R series cameras
- Thread starter colinrb
- Start date
I have been a fan of GPS devices for many years, long before they were in every vehicle. My first was a Delorme device connected to a laptop. It was followed shortly by a Garmin Street Pilot. Right now I use Canon Connect with the R7. I have the GP-E2 and have never been that fond of it. The best GPS device I have used with a camera was an off brand of some kind that I put on my camera strap. The device worked fine and what made it best was the software. When you synced it on your computer it usually gave the exact address of where the picture was taken. I think a good gps would be a plus for the R series cameras, the only downside was the power drain they cause.

There are multiple (recent) threads about using GPS to geotag your photo’s.

I use a Garmin GPS device to create a tracklog and use the Map module in Lightroom to add the coordinates from the tracklog to the images. This works fine when the time on your camera is in sync with the time of the GPS device. I use the Camera connect app to sync the time of my camera to that of my smartphone (after some time the camera clock needs re-sync to remove the usually 2-3 minutes difference).
