[The location has been defaulted to Lambert Centre] Photo was taken 6km west of Bermagui but it defaulted to the NT, Why? Should have been at The Crossing Land Education Camp, Bermagui NSW? A mystery for my first camera uploads on this app cheers Dean Turner. I had to manually correct location
Yeah Dean Turner in The Crossing Land Education Centre informed me (old friends) that eventually he worked it out by quote: "on the android phone with NatureMapr app, recalibrating GPS in the Google Maps app." – Dean @TheCrossingLand please correct me if i worded the quote wrong .
Yesterday in the swamp forest extraordinarily dense, low canopy cover, my android phone could not get a GPS position fix (not enough receiving the view through that density of canopy to see enough satellites, i presume?) . Three of my NatureMapr sightings containing ca. 10 photographs in total, each supposedly having GPS positions' located, were defaulted to the "Lamberts Centre of the Au continent" in the NT.
Later checking my old iPhone 6 which i was also testing in this extraordinarily dense low canopy cover there too, it was better at getting a GPS position fix (presumably better at receiving the view of enough satellites ).
Nowadays diverse devices each having within them one of a diverse range of GPS receivers' chips, and diverse networks of satellites' –GPS enabled, deliver a diverse range of GPS signals, some go through dense canopy cover more, and some do not – we get what technology we search for and research for and what quality we afford .
Hi Dean. All our devices can get the location wrong depending on how good the signal is. It is worthwhile checking your sightings after they have uploaded to ensure the location is correct.
