If I was last at that location some weeks or months in the past, can I remember exactly when? To be honest, my most-used function is the “select geo images” or “select non-geo images.” Copying and pasting GPS data is useful and works well, but my difficulty is a bit of a chicken and egg situation: to tag a new image I need to copy the location from a previous image at the same location.
The beauty of the DNG format used by Leica is that this metadata can be written into the file without corrupting the image, unlike other RAW formats where any modification to the file is always at your own risk.Thanks, I noted those at the time and have your geoToolbox enabled in my darkroom view. From the same popup menu, click 'Select photos on Tracklog' then 'Auto-tag X Selected Photos' to add the GPS data to each photo.

You can then either download their companion desktop app to write the GPS data into the metadata of the RAW files, or you can just do it directly in Lightroom as I do.įor the Lightroom route, you simply go to the 'Map' view in Lightroom, click the 'GPS Tracklogs' button at the bottom (looks like a zig-zag, next to the lock icon), select 'Load Tracklog' and open the GPX file from your 'trip' which should be on your cloud drive. It records your location at preset (adjustable) intervals, then when you're done for the day you simply end the trip on the app and it exports a GPX file to the cloud service of your choice.
You should only need to do this once. Then in the Geotag app you create a ‘trip’ when you're ready to use your camera. First you need to set the time on your camera as closely as possible to your phone - on the iPhone you can watch the second hand on the clock icon to help with this. It's great and it does the job beautifully.

In the interim, I have downloaded an iPhone app named Geotag Photos Pro 2 (I believe there is an Android version too). When they eventually add the feature to cover all photos taken with the camera, my hope is that it doesn't require a direct WiFi connection to the camera and just work over bluetooth. On my Leica Q2, I was hoping for a similar feature via the Fotos app, but as many have found out, it only works for photos that are taken using the app. It works maybe 90% of the time, but occasionally the phone and the camera will disconnect from each other, so you end up performing a silly dance where you turn off the camera, turn it back on, turn off your phone's bluetooth, back on again, etc. The camera takes this GPS data and writes it into the RAW file at the point of capture (ie it's not added to the file afterwards).

I have a Sony a6400 which uses a Sony iPhone app to sync GPS data back to the camera over constant Bluetooth connection. Both the SL2 and Fotos are due upgrades soon, and we will hear on this site when it happens. Maybe the initial SL2 (and Q2 for that matter) firmware provides everything that will be needed, and maybe not (that's the sort of thing to be discovered shortly after the product ships). Panasonic probably has a lot more people and more years of experience working this area than Leica, so I would expect some problems. I've recently had phones using Android 6, 7, 8 and 9, and different apps fail at each stage. Android's phones are delivered with very different app interfaces, screen characteristics, and facilities that change with each new level. Apple's platform may be fairly restrictive, but at least it is consistently delivered. Well it is hard to make this stuff work with every phone in the world. And after all, Panasonic can manage this with reasonable reliability on their S1 cameras, so it can't be that hard. The fellow writing this promise probably felt relatively safe since if it didn't happen, Fotos would be blamed and not him.

Other promises were only made (multi-shot high res and linear manual focus) for a future firmware. The Leica manual produced at the time the first SL2s were shipped promises that GPS data will be passed through Leica Fotos from whatever platform it is running on as long as the BlueTooth connection is up and running.
