Hi Jacob,
Just one last tip you might be interested in. The current iPhones have very
good built-in GPS capability, less than 8m.
I used this to do surveys of birds, and I took photos at each sighting. The
extended info for the photos will show Lat-Long for each — and also altitude!
Here is a
I used this method and it worked well.

I compared an iPad and a PS Olympus GPS - I made me realize we need good
quality GPS.

I own a Canon Powershot S100 camera with built in GPS. I think it is not
available anymore, but I assume the newer cameras have similar systems built
in, Picture quality is excellent, setting options too. GPS accuracy is quite
good (few meters, if I compare locations on GIS), once the
Hi Jacob,
If you normally use a Garmin GPS, you can geotag your photos using the
Garmin Basecamp program. Just make sure your camera and GPS unit are set to
the same date/ timezone/ time, and enable the tracking function on your
GPS. Check out the instructions on this page:
Hello Jacob,
On the flip side to having the most expensive/best camera, you can always
use your phone. There are lots of apps out there that allow you to take GPS
tracks/way points/even photos and create maps via google earth or other GPS
programs. And most of them are free. One of my favorites
We have used quite a variety of GPS equipped cameras for the last 5 years
and the results have been quite mixed. Most of the cameras have been point
and shoot Nikons (P6000, P510, P520, AW100, etc.) and two Panasonics. Also
tried Nikon's GPS1 plug-in GPS on a DSLR and the relatively new D5300
Jacob, Yes with the cameras I have used, you can view the lat/long when you
preview the photo - as long as you are showing all the photo information.
And 2nd, I don't think you have the option to convert between formats.

Thank you all for the helpful replies. This gives me a lot to work with.
It seems that acquiring GPS coordinates should not be that difficult to
obtain on site, but we would prefer the accuracy to be 20m from were the
picture was taken. Even course geo-references would be valuable as well.

Remember that you GPS signal is going to be affected by many things other
than the internal electronics. Things like over-story, cloud cover,
position of the satelites will all influence the data. This is why when
people are doing stuff that requires solid datasets, they will place down
the GPS
