Hi, We know the Z1 does not have an inbuilt gps mechanism, it relies on the gps data from the phone and inserts that into the photo exif data. We have an ios app that sends the gps coordinates from the phone when the photo was clicked and are storing it in the database. When we compare the values f…

Are you using the webAPI to save the metadata into the still image? https://github.com/ricohapi/theta-api-specs/blob/main/theta-web-api-v2.1/options/gps_info.md If so, post the snippet that you are using to store the information. example: { "gpsInfo": { "lat": 23.532, "lng": …

@sumeetgm89 , I suggest that you talk to @Shotaro_Igami about this. If not here, then on Facebook.

Not specifically @craig , it is just that over the years I have become to know @Shotaro_Igami as very knowledgeable when it comes to using the Z1 for mapping and the issues with getting it correct.

@JoscTr this is great insight. I hope that @sumeetgm89 is able to get in touch with him. Thanks for your help. :slight_smile:

Thank you @craig and @JoscTr for your responses. @craig , we are not doing anything explicitly to feed the gps data into the image, it just comes along with the picture. It is not about accuracy, what i meant is that if it is getting the data from the phone then the data should be exactly identical…

Are you using the official RICOH mobile app for iOS? Or, did you build your own app? If you wrote your own app, are you saying that the values you are storing from lat and lng are not reflected in the image metadata? https://github.com/ricohapi/theta-api-specs/blob/main/theta-web-api-v2.1/options…
