Some Bluetooth or USB receivers could also be used. The use of a GPS receiver with a display is not required for Geotagging. The clock of the camera is off by three seconds. On the right hand side the EXIF data of this picture is shown. This picture shows the display of the GPS receiverĭisplaying its internal clock. The exact time is required for reliable operation of the GPS system.

The clock of the GPS system is a very accurate clock synchronisedīy atomic clocks built into the satellites of the NAVSTAR fleet which send out the signals received by the GPS receiver. Picture of the GPS showing its internal time and then compare this with the logged capture time in the EXIF data of the camera file. To check how the two clocks are aligned to each other it is easiest to take a I was able to bring the camera clock and the GPS clock within 3 seconds, which is close enough for this application. By pressing enter the camera time is set and the clock It is therefore easiest to set the time for the next minute and press enter as soon as the GPS time shifts to the next minute. The value for the seconds can notīe adjusted. My camera allows only setting the hour and minute values. Therefore, the clock in the camera needs to be adjusted to the GPS internal clock. The time is required to later synchronise the track data Beneath the location, the exact time is saved. In this mode, the GPS receiver saves log data using an algorithm specifiedīy the user. The tracking function of the GPS receiver is used. Geotagging using a GPS receiver can be a largely automated process. The receiver however will make geotagging a simple and less time consumingĪct. A GPS receiver is not required for geotagging as mentioned above. GPS receivers are widespread these days (early 2008).

GPSBABEL CLI WINDOWS
It exists a windows application supporting live NMEA on OSM maps under Raw NMEA Data New versions of JOSM can handle NMEA files. If your GPS receiver logs in NMEA format, you will need to convert the NMEA files to GPX before you can upload via the OSM website in order to make them public. This is true for the NaviGPS and for Neo1973 using gllin driver. The script will use gpsbabel to convert your tracks to GPX, then upload them to the main server, saving you the effort! Uploading NMEA text dumps (web interface)Īt, you can upload your tracks in NMEA (or any other) format to OSM. ZDA UTC Date/Time and Local Time Zone Offset (Log the timezone you have setup in the device) NMEA information sources VTG Track made good and Ground speed, how far, long and at what compass direction have been travelling (in short speed, heading and log) GLL Geographic Position - Latitude/Longitude It only indicates how the sattelites are positioned and how that effects your position, you might still have radio interference that might mess things up. My interpretation of this is (which might very well be wrong): If these values are high your data is guarnteed to be bad, if low you data might be bad anyways. GGA Global Positioning System Fix Data can also contain DOP information (I think) RMC is the recommended minimum sentence, it a specification can say "This unit support the Commands: GGA, GSA, GSV, RMC, GLL och VTG"

You might need to know what the NMEA key words are, if you buy a GPS or if you want to setup and configure your device.
