Difficult to use GPS Function, Seems cheaply made

Re: Difficult to use GPS Function, Seems cheaply made

I GeoTag most of my images. Only a few of my cameras have built-in GPS.

I don't use the Olympus app to GeoTag the images. If I use my smartphone, it only runs a track log app. My other option is to use a handheld GPS to generate the log. The location data is added in post as a batch process. Multiple choices as to utilities that will do this, including Photoshop.

If using the TG-4's internal GPS, it generates standard location EXIF tags. Photoshop definitely can read the data. If you transfer images from the camera to your smartphone, there's a risk of the phone stripping the EXIF data. This not the fault of the camera, but the method you used to copy the files.
