Photos not Geotagged on iOS about qfield HOT 3 CLOSED

@cemno , I suspect a feature in upcoming QField 3.3.4 (#5520) will help you with the wrong camera/resolution. As for geotagging, I assume you've toggled on the geotagging tool buton in the camera as well as turned on positioning?

Solved

Thanks for the quick reply. It seems that I did indeed forget to enable positioning for QField.

In the non-native camera the geotagging button was greyed out and not working at first, but after enabling positioning in the map view (by pressing the positioning button) I was asked to give permission and now the geotagging button in the camera can be switched on.

The different cameras can also be selected now, I don't know why it didn't work before.

Expand documentation

From the Website in Geotagging:

To enable geotagging in case your native OS camera does not support this functionality, follow these steps:

It might be useful to expand the documentation for iOS devices to say that need the non-native camera to get geotags, as currently from a non-developer perspective, an iOS device's native camera is generally capable of geotagging, just not in QField.

Further Notes

I'm also looking forward to the upcoming improvements for the internal camera. I hope that the handling of dispalying a taken photo vertically or horizontally will also be improved. But is the QField version 3.3.4 you mentioned correct?

Last but not least, thank you very much for constantly improving QField, it really is an application I have always been looking for! :)

@cemno , we'd be more than happy to review and merge a pull request suggesting improvements on the documentation from you. All pages can be edited from the documentation repository here: https://github.com/opengisch/QField-docs/

Looking forward to seeing you over there :)
