Locating coordinates

[Horn Hunter]

I'm new to the drone world and have a question. Is it possible to retrieve the coordinates (lat/long) of an object you have just taken a picture of on a flight? I believe they exist somewhere in the photos information but haven't been able to figure out how to actually see them.

A simple way to do this on a Win machine is to go into File Explorer, right click on the image file and select 'Properties', then click on the 'Details' tab.... you should see the GPS Lat/Long coordinates down the bottom.

A batter way would be to install one of the many EXIF tools available..... eg, ExifTool by Phil Harvey, here: ExifTool by Phil Harvey or ExifToolGUI here: ExifToolGUI

Thanks. I should have said I would be wanting to do this in the field with the smart controller if possible.

That can be done with a Mavic 2 Enterprise model and the Smartcontroller.

The Pilot app displays Lat/Long coordinates on screen. In addition, images taken can have Lat/Long superimposed in the image for later processing

By Pilot app do you mean the DJI Go4 app or is there a different app? If so do you have a screenshot of what you are referring to? Thanks for any help you can provide. Being 77 years old I have a little trouble picking up on the technology.

Pilot app is a different app. It’s intended use is for Enterprise models.

I’m currently on the road, standby for screenshots when i am back in the office.

Litchi has this an an option but I don't think you can add Litchi to the SC yet... or can you?

 

[Keule]

If so do you have a screenshot of what you are referring to?

Here we go:
screenshot #1 displays in the lower part the aircrafts lat/long coordinates:


Screenshot #2 (below) shows in the top left side the current date/time an lat/long coordinates superimposed in the finished image (.JPG) in the drone on the SD card.



Note: as said previously, you need an Enterprise model (e.g. Mavic 2 Enterprise / Dual) and Pilot app on your smartcontroller.

I have a Mavic 2 Pro. Will it not work on it?

If you use GoogleEarth, it will post them on your map. Forgot which function it is, “Add”-“Photo” or something like that.

I believe all recorded coordinates are of the aircraft's location and not the location of the "object" to which you refer.

It can also be found with the search function.....

Lat and Long display with Go 4 app

Is there a settings somewhere to display the drones Lat & Long on the display in Go 4? Have not seen that toggle function. Litchi has that setting.

Where is the Lat / Long for DJI Go 4 app?

One of the things I really like about the Litchi app is the fact that it always shows you the current lat/long of your drone. I use this as a safety feature should the drone go down, I have a way to quickly see the lat/long, plug into my gps and go into recovery model. Is there any place withing...

Longitude and latitude

I just recently purchased a Mavic 2 Pro and want to know how to send the drone to a specific location of GPS coordinates. Is this even possible using just the DJI Go 4? Thanks

Please Can You Further Elaborate. Not able to do so

I have an Mavic 2 pro, and if you set C1 to camera mode (selection) then it will post the coordinates to the image, and all you need to do is back it up to photo page, click on more options, and they will appear. It was no trouble on that smart controller, but now I have an enterprise advanced and cannot find where to enable that function. It records lat/lon on the display, but not on the image/photo itself. I want to be able to see my object while flying, snap a photo, then go back to the photo, and be able to immediatly see the coordinates. I could take a pen and paper with me, but I feel like I just cannot locate the right toggle.I hope the above was clear I make a lot of mistakes lately.
