jpgrove1 Registered since 03rd Jul 2020Sat 27-Feb-21 09:52 AMI have a feeling that your phone may go into a standby mode? I have yet to find a reliable method to geotag. I am not keen on the plug-in solutions that use the new Nikon connector. -

Sun 28-Feb-21 06:00 PMYour feeling might be correct, James. I changed two settings, one in the camera, and one in the phone. I told the phone to allow SnapBridge to run in the background, and I told the camera to stay awake and not go to sleep on me. Those changes have allowed the location data to be updated in a timely fashion. Since I changed both settings at the same time, I can't say for sure which one (or possibly both) did the trick. However I'm noticing that accuracy isn't nearly as good as my previous experience syncing a gpx file from my Garmin hand-held gps unit to the camera's raw files. I can't blame that on SnapBridge, it's just relaying to the camera the location data supplied by the phone. I think I'll continue to use the Garmin gpx solution going forward.
Thanks for your reply.
