smartphone gps

Hi,

New to the forum, love the ML on my Eos 600d, awesome job!

I've been searching on the web for gps tagging solutions and strangely enough there seems to be only one for canon cameras, a quite expensive one for that matter. My suggestion is using, for example, my iPhone and a usb cable to connect up to the camera and with a simple iPhone app transfer gps coordinates to the camera, or for ease, record on the phone on shutter release. I don't expect much, but it would be extremely handy.

Or you could buy a GPS tracker: they are cheap and the battery lasts a lot when used on-demand. You can then use a pc software to Geo tag the photos if your camera clock is correct

I suppose that can be a temporary solution. Thanks for the advice nanomad, will give it a go.

They are actually called loggers not trackers

Maybe you can enable PTP_ML on source code and build your self.
And buy cheap Android(Need supported USB host mode).
Then, you need to add code for
-transfer the GPS location by USB-PTP on Android side.
-Receive it and write location to pictures on ML side.

Then you can do it. Try it.
I don' t know iPhone is USB host mode supported or not.

Use your Android-Phone or iPhone with an App, Let the Phone track your Time and Coordinates, Sync them afterwards on your PC with some programm like "Geosetter"
