I can see the value of it even if it’s something that I don’t have much need for personally.
To me it would be quite useful sometimes for a camera to connect automatically (ie without all the ridiculous faff of camera WiFi connections) using Bluetooth or Ant+ or something similar to external devices which have GPS, such as a phone, smartwatch or Garmin bike device. So when you press the shutter it can just write the current position and time into the image file. I imagine that would be less of a drain on the battery than keeping a built-in GPS active. > On 21 Jan 2024, at 23:08, Godfrey DiGiorgi <godfreydigio...@me.com> wrote: > > Soooo … All this discussion of GPS equipped cameras … I'm curious: Why do we > need GPS location information in our photographs? > > Oh, I can see some uses for it, for specific purposes, but in general … I > don't know why I'd want it. > I figure when I want GPS location info, I just snap a photo with my iPhone at > the same time I take a picture with any other camera, then copy-paste the GPS > location information from the iPhone image into the other camera's photo.
