Snap to closest gps point

[frlindla]

I have a Nikon z6 with no gps. I also have an iphone with gps. During this weekend I used both on a trip I had. I tried to use my phone regulary to have several known gps points. Is it possible to snap my nef-files to the closest known gps point?

When you export the iPhone track log in the standard GPX format, you can it import in IMatch and apply the GPS coordinates to the NEF files, based on the file date and time.
Apple might not provide such a functionality directly, but then there are surely apps which do.

See GPX Track Log Import for detailed information.

If you don't have a GPX log, you can also copy the coordinates from individual iPhone photos to your Z6 photos. But having a GPS log means that you can assign locations to photos via IMatch in one action. Much easier, although you'll need to copy the GPX file to the computer where you use IMatch.

That's exactly how I do it.

On my iPhone I have an app called Geotag Photos that records a GPS tracklog as I travel taking photos.  Then when I've finished traveling I tell the app I'm done and the app automatically uploads the GPS tracklog to my Dropbox account which puts it in my computer.

On the PC I open IMatch, select the photo(s) I want to geocode, then in the Map Panel I load the GPS tracklog and tell IMatch to geocode the photos.

All done and it works a treat for all of my cameras.

Same here, except I use my Garmin sports watch, which has the advantages that I'm always wearing it and also seems to be generally more accurate than my smartphone. There's even more benefit if more than one camera has been used.

Do you know the Berlin company "foolography" with their unleashed products (www.foolography.com/products/unleashed/#geotagging) ? This might be a simple solution for you.

I bought my unleashed back in 2010 for my Nikon D300 to transfer GPS data directly to the camera from my Holux GPS tracker immediately upon release. Modern unleashed products can also get their data from smartphones and today can even be controlled remotely with them. Geotagging is now just a "byproduct" so to speak.

Since I don't use a smartphone, I still use the same device on my D500 today. The modfication by foolography, 10 years after my purchase, was done for very little money!
PS.: There are no business relations between foolography and me. I am simply a satisfied customer!
