It appears now that only one GPS date/location was used for EVERY photo I took each day of the trip. I have used ‘exiftool’ to make a CSV spreadsheet showing the image name, image date, GPS data, and GPS coordinates. I have no other Canon equipment to test it with, but at the request of Canon Support I am collecting data for them. This issue could be some incompatibility with the app and the G5X. The other topic had nothing to do with any camera - just the app. I posted an update to that old topic, and then started this topic about a completely different and worse issue in the new 3.x version of the app. Yes, the 2.x software had an ongoing issue for five years where it would just stop recording data (turning the logging off) randomly during the day. This turned a sorting process of photos from Knott's Berry Farm in to a half hour process instead of spending a week or more working on it by hand.Īnyone had this problem? It shows 3.0.1 came out 5 months ago (no note on GPS changes), then 3.0.10 1 month ago (new camera support) and then 3.0.11 a week ago. This is a big disappointment, since I recently created a script that lets me draw out regions in a Google Map, export it out as a KML file, then let the script sort photos in to subfolders based on the areas drawn on the map. I hope to be able to use it's data to at least get my photos in the general area they were taken. Fortunately, due to all the problems I've had with Camera Connect over the past five years, this trip I ran a "Geotag Photos 2" app as well, though I did not have it logging as frequently as I would have liked. I confirmed this using the 'exiftool' command line, and a script I had ChatGPT help me write ( ) They ALL have GPS data, but it's one of the seven locations repeated through thousands of photos.Ĥ/12 UPDATE: Using ‘exiftool’ it now appears that the SAME GPS date/time and lat/lon is embedded in every image taken the same day, so my 7 locations were from the 7 days I used the camera, it seems. Unfortunately, tonight I found out it only put in SEVEN (7) GPS locations in the 4300 photos I took over the five days. The new version looked like it was working better, since it was always still logging each night when I went to shut it off and upload GPS data in to my Canon G5X. I had days on that trip where I forgot to keep checking it, and lost half a day or more of GPS data. When I used the version available in October 2022 (probably 2.9.22), it still had the issues where it would often just stop logging during the day. I was running the 3.0.10 (or it might have updated to 3.0.11 by then) on an iPhone 14 Pro with 1TB storage. I tried the updated Camera Connect last week. The location stored in every photo is the location where the phone was when you "Start recording." Every photo taken that day will have that GPS coordinate, and though the photos have the correct time, the GPS timestamp will be the same as well.
