I almost bought a smart phone last week but did not, for that very reason. I’ve used my daughters iPhone 4 but not pleased with the images.
Thanks for the input though.

The images leave a lot to be desired but they code Lat and Long. Eliz Not Today and Not without a Fight (Anon) For all that has been, thanks. For all that will be, yes.

I often have a camera with me that I sometimes use for that purpose but don’t find it very accurate related to GPS activities. I’m no expert iPad user but I see nothing in it that would indicate Lat and Long for photos taken with it. I’ll call the Apple store. Thanks.

I want to climb into remote hills and read my exact location by coordinates. I stumbled onto a small cemetery with a few stone in the mountains this summer with no trails or roadbeds nearby. I did later contact the county and described the location as well as I could. They eventually found it and said they did not know it existed. Secondly, which of the group of coordinates formats does the group believe is the most useful or is it a matter of taste? Thanks.
