  1. Those of you who geotag your photos, what do you use? I'm looking for a good option. I've got an a7rii, android, windows 7.
  2. I'm a late-comer to the A7 series, having just purchased an A7 IV (I have had A77 and A99 a-mount cameras for years, and they have both served me very well, but the time came to upgrade). One of the features I really valued in them both was the built-in GPS function. Using the "maps" facility in Lightroom allowed me to easily track where images had been captured, anywhere in the world. I found this particularly useful for post-trip story and blog production, especially for images captured in remote places such as the Himalayas. I had always assumed that the new A7 series would carry this function forward, and when considering the purchase of the A7 I didn't even bother to research that. Not so, it seems (or if they have, it's well buried). It seems that the only way to capture GPS data is to link the cameras to one's mobile/cell phone, and use the phone's location data to embed into an image. That's convoluted enough in itself, and I'm not even sure that I've set it up correctly. Which prompts a series of questions: am I right in saying that the camera itself does not capture GPS/location data, and that the only way to do so is via one's phone? if so, does this still work when working in remote places (such as the Himalayas), where phone coverage may be non-existent? does this system cause additional battery drain in either phone or camera? depending on the answers to the above, is there another workaround - that is, a way of capturing this data which is recognisable by Lightroom? and lastly, if there is a workaround, and it involves something other than Lightroom, what might that be? Many thanks in advance ...
