Does anybody know how to get the GPS data from a Nikon AW100 to show in places? I've recently bought a Nikon AW100 which is GPS enabled and I was hoping that Places would show where the pictures were taken but alas nothing shows up. Where am I going wrong? Many thanks
Does the GPS data show in the correct EXIF fields when you look at them in Aperture?
Hi Frank
No they don't appear at all in the EXIF fields- In 'places' I've tried to import the GPS data track but it can't find any information. I had assumed that it would import the GPS info as part of the photo import. I'm a bit stumped.
Did the camera actually record GPS tags? I do not know your camera, but sometimes the GPS cannot see enough satellites, for example in narrow streets, when only a small part of the sky is visible. Also, you usually have to wait a few minutes, before the position is fixed, after turning on the GPS.
Does the Nikon indicate, how many satellites it sees, and if it is recording the position?
The only way it can import if is the info is correctly stored in the correct EXIF tags. You need to see how to get the info into the EXIF tags.
Does the other EXIF data (aperture, shutter speed, etc) show up in Aperture?
Are you sure you have the GPS function turned on in the camera? If you use the Nikon software do you see the GPS data?
Thank you all- it appears that the GPS function was buried away in a separate menu from the normal menu. The Nikon has an icon that indicates it senses movement- unfortunately this looks like a satellite so I assumed (wrongly) that GPS was turned on. Your answers prompted me to press every button and hey presto, I found the GPS menu, I've now taken some photos and all of the GPS data imported exactly as I suspected. Thank you for your comments.
