Archived Support / Camera and GPS time problem
« on: August 01, 2006, 04:44:03 AM »
Hello,
I've got a frustrating problem. I have a Garmin GPS 60CSx and a Nikon D70. The time sync between them is accurate to within a second. I took a bunch of pictures while I was out geocaching, and saved a GPX file from my Garmin when I got back with TopoFusion (GREAT program by the way--I'm still demoing it, but it looks like I'm buying this one!). I can't get any program to stamp my photos with the correct coordinates, they all complain about a time sync problem. My computer is set to EST (I think we are in daylight savings time in the summer, making me GMT-4). My computer, camera, and Garmin all have the same time within a second. The date/time in my EXIF headers for each picture look like the correct time they were taken in EST. The GPX log file looks like it's also the correct time we hiked in GMT. So what the heck gives here?! Why won't PhotoFusion, RoboGeo, WWMX, or any other program I've tried sync these things up? I can send the GPX file and a couple JPGs to anyone who wants to look into this for me. I'm out of ideas... It's gotta be something stupid!
