Title: Geo-Location Worth the Effort?
Post by: DC on October 24, 2012, 13:02

Like the subject says, is it worth the effort to Geo tag your pictures?

This feature really makes the upload process one of the slowest and most cumbersome.

So what do you guys think?  Worth the effort?  Ignore it?

I think it's useful for editorial, and I think I've read that magazines want photos tagged now.  You never know how you will be selling photos or who to in the future.

I broke the cord on mine  - bent where it plugs into the camera and a new cord is $ ridiculous.   When it did work, I found that most of the places that I need to be tagged are so remote that they don't connect with the satellite anyway.

I wish that DT would indicate when a picture is found w/ the geotag.
I have tagged some of mine, but I don't do it 'til after they are accepted.
