iPhone Camera/Photos GPS Tagging - Found concern / resolution? feature?
The problem is that most of the time you take your phone out, take a few pictures, then close it. What I noticed is that on numerous occassions the gps location will be very off. This is because (just like in maps), right away it finds within a couple hundred miles where you are at and then after maybe 10 seconds pinpoints exactly where you are at. If you take a picture before the gps is pinpointed (which is somewhat typical) then the gps can sometimes be severly off.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make sure that the GPS is pinpointed to exact location or a way to make sure you can't take a picture before that is done or something? Sometimes I go into maps and wait until it pinpoints then go into camera and then know it will be good, but I've even done this, then put the phone to sleep, whip it out and forgot to do it and then find the gps tag way off.
If there is no way of knowing unless you open up the camera and just wait awhile (and sometimes depending on the area it may even take very long) then apple should create some sort of indication of when the gps is locked (kind of like back in the day we would know when the flash is ready to take a picture). I think this would be a valuable indicator for when taking pictures especially when gps tagging is so big now on photos and since apple advertises this so much for their iphones that it is built in. I think if apple would have thought of this awhile ago, they would have had it in iOS4, but I guess not which is why I think many of us should recommend this feature to apple.
Can you guys recommend this feature to apple? Don't you think this would be useful? Is there any method right now we can utilize that is not very inconvenient?
thanks,
