It is the start of an experiment that tries to add the GEO tag of the photograph accurately.
With the smartphone GPS I have, the error can be as small as 3m when the conditions are good, but it is difficult to reduce it further.
Therefore, the location information given to photos taken at intervals of several meters is not perfectly aligned.
I tried to bring my smartphone higher than my head in order to improve the satellite capture, but there was not much difference compared to using a smartphone in front of my chest.
Is there any way to improve accuracy?
My equipment is :
Smartphone: Pixel 3
Camera: THETA Z1
sometimes even professional GPS cannot communicate perfectly with the satellite due to the reflections of the radio waves and the blockage produced by certain terrestrial structures, trees, buildings, board fences, plus many others.
Humidity in the atmosphere affects radio waves and ionized particles affect radio waves transmitted by satellites.
About the accuracy of mobile phones at GPS signals I do not discuss, I tell you a real fact
I made a photo sphere with a pixel3 between three nearby hills, google photos was wrong with 500m when setting the coordinates.
Thank you for the information of the GPS external receiver.
With only the equipment I am currently using, the positional information error can only be reduced to about 3m. I wish I could reduce the error to about 0.5m.
Thank you for explaining GPS.
In Japan, where I am, there are quasi-zenith satellite called “MICHIBIKI” besides the GPS satellite.
I want to learn how to use them all well.
I have been more interested in the Galati and the Danube than the misfortune of misplaced photos.
The railway network around steel companies and shipyards is attractive. The iron bridge has already been removed in the photo you presented, but it is interesting that the iron bridge still remains in the satellite photo.
I want to walk on this bridge where I can see both the tramway and the maintenance facility for industrial trains. https://goo.gl/maps/cJUEJYuwiqmrfx1a9
The 20 photos I took have appeared gradually on Google Maps on the web.
Hopefully, the photo will already have this correct location information at the time of the photo capturing.
I would also like to hear the experiences of the actual success of receiving location information with high accuracy.
What equipment do you use and what kind of shooting environment do you create?
Did you get the location information correctly even on a cloudy day?
What kind of equipment is good for getting position information correctly even in mountainous valleys? https://goo.gl/maps/QDfybTsYQ2yL4Jxx7 https://youtu.be/8v-DZPbhAvo https://youtu.be/TrQs35LqQao
In winter, the iron ore freezes in the freight wagons that came from Russia and Ukraine, and did not go unloaded.
Those long buildings are furnaces for heating freight wagons with iron ore, after the ore was thawed the wagons were unloaded.
A photo taken from the viaduct in the direction of the city.
On the left side below the bridge there is a shepherd with sheep for grazing
It was foggy all day the pictures from the bridge are not successful
