Hi Hugh many thanks for this great record! a tip to improve the accuracy of locations: any device - mob phone, camera, gps etc - takes a while to collect and integrate the satellite signals; the longer you give the device time to think, the more accurate it is.
not sure whether this is of help...

Hi @waltraud, sadly this picture was taken on my camera which doesn't have a GPS chip. I usually also record the location with a photo on my phone but it seems to have failed to properly register the coordinates (it has a few issues in its old age of 1 year). Next time I will make sure to take a reading on my GPS unit just to be sure. Cheers.
