<p>Do you have in mind uploading single images? I hardly ever have need for a single image upload. Usually users upload batch of 20-50 images. How do you handle batch uploads?<br> The step by step description was for testing purpose. It's just a proof that you can get GPS data from pictures taken with apple devices.</p>

<p>OK. Finally had the time to test iPad photo with GPS.</p> <p>1. Followed the instructions how to enable GPS location tagging on iPad.<br> 2. Took a picture<br> 3. Emailed it to myself.<br> 4. Uploaded the attachment to plfotoart.com</p> <p>Result: GPS location has been saved with the image and imported into my web applications.</p> <p>I can email you the image for testing if you wish.</p>

<p>I don't allow direct uploads. User has to send a file and I use custom uploader and image management plugin to upload it. WordPress Media Library is not the best option to manage thousands of images.<br> I don't own an iphone but have an ipad so I'm going to do some testing based on this article: "How to enable or disable GPS location tagging on your iPhone or iPad.</p>

<p>By default on most of the mobile phones the GPS data is not included when you export a picture. There is an extra option that has to be set to have the geotagging info included in the file. That maybe the issue you're having with i devices.</p>

<p>I haven’t noticed any issues with getting the metadata from pictures taken with mobile devices. We use these files for GPS data only. Most users don’t have cameras with geotagging option so they take pictures with mobiles to register locations. It’s way quicker to match images than memorizing locations.</p>

<p>You may want to take a look at my site: "Wayside Chapels in Poland" – www.plfotoart.com<br> <br /> It displays images and locations of object on Google Maps. You can upload geotagged photos to create location markers or enter locations manually. Build on WordPress platform, plus a few custom plugins I’ve created. There is no need for a separate mobile version since it works on both desktop and mobile devices. On mobile phone you can navigate to the location where a picture was taken.<br> <br /> You can contact me if you have questions concerning the design features.</p>

<p>You have a blog and what you need is a portfolio and a blog. <br> The home page should be a showcase of your best images. With WordPress, you can have both blog and portfolio located under the same domain and they do not have to look alike.</p>

<p>There no waiting for GPS signal if you use Bluetooth adapter and separate GPS receiver. There are adapters available for most of the Nikon DSLRs</p> <p>I turn the receiver on when I start shooting. Turn it off at the end of the day. The battery lasts 12 hours or more. I can turn the camera off anytime. When I turn it on it'll pair with GPS receiver in a second or two.</p>

<p>For my Nikon D7000 I have:<br> AK-N7000 bluetooth adapter from Aokatec and Qstarz BT-Q818XT Bluetooth GPS Receiver</p> <p>It's a wireless setup. Bluetooth adapter is very small, plugged into camera. The GPS receiver I usually keep in my pocket.</p> <p>This setup works great. It's small, no cables and uses no camera battery. I get longitude, latitude and altitude.</p> <p>To display images I use WordPress plugin. It uses image metadata including GPS to display image and camera position on Google maps.</p>
