Interactive geotagging doesn't place photo at clicked point

DarrylDempsey · ‎07-03-2011

We have found that when interactively placing non-geotagged photos that Explorer places the point about 95 meters south of the clicked point. Is there some way to fix this problem?

We use a 2D coordinate system with the RD_New projection for the Netherlands. There is an attachment with our .nmf in the thread I started about notes not being available for point layers in spatial selection. If you folks would like a new attachment for testing, just let me know ....

Darryl, thanks for reporting the issue. We will take a look at it.

According to my (geographic) calculations, you were working on 4th July when you replied, Andriy.
Thanks and look forward to hearing the results, and hopefully a solution.

Have the folks at ESRI made any headway with this yet?

It's been more than 3 weeks since this was posted. The guys at ESRI were going to look into it.

Will ESRI kindly break radio silence and let me know if there are any developments?

Darryl, I took a look, and I couldn't reproduce it. Can you give exact steps? I did change 2D projection to RD_New, and my koala appeared exactly where I clicked on a map.

Andrij,
It seems to depend on which computer we use. Enclosed are screenshots of geotagging on computer 1 and geotagging on computer 2. Both have the same 2D coordinate system. Screenshot 2A shows the setting on computer 2. I was unable to load the 6th screenshot (1A) which proves this. Apparently the limit is 5 uploads. If you want, I can send a second post with that 1 screenshot.

Any idea why it works on one computer and not on the other?

Darryl,

I took a look at this, and found that I could not reproduce the problem if I set the map coordinate system to RD_New.. similar to what Andrei reported. However, If I set a transformation (Amersfoort to wgs 1984), I do see the photograph placed, away from where I clicked.

To explain the difference between your two computers, it may be a difference of the map and specifically whether a transformation is being used or not.

Mark,
Thanks for looking at our problem.

The coordinate system for each map on both computers is the same and all content on both (except for the basemap ESRI World Imagery) is in RD_New.

Can you advise me how to go about looking for where the difference might be lurking?

MarkBockenhauer · ‎08-03-2011

I notice in one of the screen shots that you sent that the transformation had been set, and that is what I did to reproduce the problem. When the transformation is set to "none" the photo is geotagged at the clicked location.
