The immich service connection.with writeback is awesome!
My kids have some dinky little digital cameras with no GPS or WiFi or anything, just writes photos locally to microsd, so obviously no location data. I use my phone, sure, but when traveling I’ll use my DSLR that also has no GPS (OK it does have WiFi, but I don’t use it).
Which turns into me tagging every time we get back from somewhere.
Going to give that immich link a try!
That’s exactly the use case someone reported recently.
Right now, you can press a button on an individual image in Reitti if it’s aligned by time rather than location. And if you’ve got multiple images and you’re feeling brave (in other words, you trust Reitti 😄), there’s also a button to do it all at once from the gallery in the map bubbles.
Give it a try, and let me know how it goes! If anything needs tweaking, I’m happy to adjust it. Happy to hear feedback either way!
Well, perfect use case for the test immich instance!
I’ve got a few day trips recently that will make for good tests for over the weekend.
I wonder if you could pair your phone with your DSLR so that you have access to GPS location tagging.
@irmadlad @curbstickle_lw some DSLRs actually had hardware modules for GPS, like the Nikon GP-1. I have one but haven't used it much (felt dangerous to have it stick out all the time) so can't say much about it.
Yeah, I’m familiar with the GPS modules. They just look a bit bulky. Of course, if you have your DSLR, a high performance telephoto lens, and other gadgetry attached, then what’s another gadget. LOL I know that some DSLR have wireless capabilities, and even if they don’t you can get a wireless SD card to interface with a wireless SSD pack. I have a friend who is a professional photographer who shoots all manner of photos for news stories, etc. He uses a bluetooth SSD setup, that is backed up to his official FTP site. He needs a backpack to haul all the stuff around tho, which might be cumbersome for casual photography.
It was just a fleeting thought to somehow combine existing hardware like the GPS capabilities of a mobile phone with a DSLR.
You can, but you need their app.
That isn’t something I’m going to do, so I tag manually instead.
Ahh ok…well, there you go. Fresh out Don Curbstickle. Maybe next time.

You can use a gps logging app (I use gps logger on android) to create gps tracks and sync them with your photos via the timestamp. Digikam has a tool for that built in, not sure what other software supports it.
This way I don’t have to manually tag every photo but instead only those where the gps failed because I was underground or where I forgot to turn it on
