Originally posted by totsmuyco I don't use the GPS on my K-3II often as I don't do astro photography. However, when I went to France last year, I should've used it as it would indicate the place that I took my photos. It would've been a great help in my documentation.
This is precisely why I bought a K-3II in 2016. I knew that with the end of K-3II production, Ricoh/Pentax was going to begin working, or had already started, on a follow on model. As my vacation planning started for 2017, I bit the bullet since the K-New-whatever-flagship was not going to be available before the vacation started.
On that vacation, as I have droned on about before, I ended with just a little over 6K images across Central, Eastern, West Europe and GB. Six weeks of shooting. Not having GPS embedded into those images would have been a ID nightmare. In fact, I finished keywording the catalogue last month (Covid-19-gotta-do-something). I also finished keywording the 3K worth of images from my 2019 vacation(s) to Alaska and Yellowstone National Park. Having Geotagged images that allowed me to ID geysers, waterfalls, glaciers and remote locations in Denali National Park is a wonderful thing. Since I walk through the Quinault Rain Forest and the beaches at Olympic National Park almost every year at Thanksgiving it is really nice to say - This image was taken ---- Here.
