[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 234376, member: 16749"] It occurs to me that the discussion quoted hereafter is off the original topic, and possibly very confusing to the novice for whom it is intended. Let's see if I can make this simple. Geotagging is when location-based data are stored in the EXIF data of a picture. The easiest way to accomplish this, with most Nikon cameras that support it, is to either use Nikon's GP-1 or GP-1a GPS unit, connected to the camera; or a third-party knockoff. Nikon charges about $300 for their GP-1a. Horoscope Fish mentions a third-party alternative that costs $200. [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ESJ8MY/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8"]I have one that costs $50[/URL], and probably works just as well as Horoscope Fish's $200 unit or Nikon's $300 unit. If you have one of these units plugged into your camera, turned on, and locked on to the necessary satellites, then you don't need to do anything else; every picture you take while set up this way will have the geotagging data included in it. There's also a way via the WU-1 adapter, to get your pictures tagged with GPS data from your Android- or IOS-based device, but this is a bit more complex and clumsy. And, of course, there are countless ways, once you get the pictures on your computer, to add or edit geotagging data using a variety of aftermarket software. [/QUOTE]
