Geo tagging using a mobile phone?

[Ivan_1983]

Hi All,

As the title suggests do any of you geo tag your photos using a mobile?

I have a standalone GPS which I have had for about 5 years but to pull the data from it you need a PC or an android phone.

Im thinking of getting an iPhone as most of the new andriods seem to be huge and was wondering if the battery will last a days worth of GPS recording.

Thanks

Ivan

I use an android phone for walking hiking with mapping software and geotag important photos. A battery easily lasts from 8am till 4pm. But I always take a power bank (charger ) with me just in case. That's using location (gps), ViewRanger mapping, several photos and light phone use.

Mine last most of the day but if I think I'll actually be out all day i take my portable charger just incase

I use an app called MotionX-GPS works a treat!

Thanks for the replies, looks like using the phone might be a viable alternative.

I assume this is still the best way to geo tag photos with either my canon 7D or canon S110?
