How precise is the embedded GPS of a compact camera?

Thanks. Just to check, as "correct" position you were expecting the position where you shot the photo, not the position of the photographed object, right? Sometimes the coordinates are technically correct but don't make any sense because the object was very distant from the camera. Sorry if the question is silly; in my experience in Wikimedia Commons many insert wrong coordinates for this reason. :)

Thanks. Do you think it's possible that cameras are designed in a way that makes it harder for them to "see" the sky? I mean, phones are often designed to have the antenna have good signal, while I imagine the GPS could be anywhere in the middle of the camera. I wonder if there's a way to check such stuff before purchase.

could you please try to define what you mean by "NOT accurate"? e.g. is it possible to capture a parking lot with several aisles with the cam's gps?

Hi Aseerel4c26, If you could help me with a question that I am about to post, then I can give you an accurate answer. But my instinct suggests that there would be no way to capture parking lot aisles with the accuracy.

My Latitude is at 43.0 degrees, longitude 85.67 I am trying to figure out how many feet do I move for every .00100 movement on latitude and how many feet do I move for every .00100 longitude. If I can get the answer to this question, then I can tell you how many feet I am off. (There is a website that gives me 99% of the information, but they cut off the decimals too early.)

As for my data points while mapping with the Go Pro 7 vs. a standing test of my Huawei Tablet, they are as follows.

Huawei Tablet                 GoPro7:                       
Long           Lat            Long
42.96277000  -85.6452141      42.962500     -85.64500
42.96275150  -85.6453750      42.962500     -85.6452778

As you can see, the Longitude of the GoPro was exactly the same for the data. (it repeated this for 100 meters, meaning I would have passed any drunk test perfectly, yet its highly unlikely I walked a perfect straight line)

I found a longitude/latitude calculator that uses DD.
For myself, .0001 latitude changes about 36 feet. I had a difference of .00027 difference of the most accurate reading and the Gopro 7 reading. It was close to 100 feet off while taking a reading every one second and walking at a speed of around 12 feet per second.

Thanks! Yes, that coordinate chopping is unusable for most mapping activities.

From 43.000, -85.670 to 43.001, -85.671 it is 111.32 m to the North and 81.41 m to the West or 137.91 m diagonally. See this JOSM screenshot. The default web editor iD seems not to be able to display coordinates, sorry. The alternative web editor Potlatch2 can show mouse pointer lat long, which helps, too.

Just post your question as a new question entry here on this site if you are interested in converters/tools.
