| I question about images taken by Theta Z1 while using the Matterport app. Does anyone one knows if Matterport app does not record GPS data for images taken with Z1? Since GSV is disabled by Matterport I am downloading images from Z1 and using Pano2VR to create a tour for the GSV upload. The issue I have is that images do not have GPS data and I have to manually place the images on the map. Wondering if Matterport app does add GPS data to the images or if there is something I need to enable. Thanks |

| They may be add it when you use their cameras but in Theta cameras only apps that control the camera record location data. I would suggest using Theta plugin for GPS so you can use an external bluetooth receiver but plugins do not work if it is controlled by the Capture app. May be someone knows a way around but I believe there is none to the date. If you are not in rush with publishing just wait till Matterport turns on GSV publishing. At least you won't spend a lot of time on finding a correct spot and orienting the spheres. It is just much easier and takes one minute to publish a matterport tour to GSV because you do it as a whole model. |

| I believe when you shoot with z1 using the capture app it also takes a composite HDR jpg which is left on the camera so no need to download (lower resolution) images from Matterport, just take from camera and you can edit as you wish. However the point that Wingman makes about GPS is still very valid. | ||

| @Astroprojector Matterport does not add any gps information to their images or the theta, it is coordinated accurately in space, not location. That is why you put in the address in matterport as it then puts the constellation in the general correct area. You still need to rotate and place the model accurately. What @Peter360 is correct, you could in fact just shoot the images with Z1 if you do not want a matterport model, just the gsv. The z1 works pretty well outside getting coordinates from a cell phone, but inside it will be less or not accurate at all. @Wingman have you actually used a plugin for external gps? Can you operate the camera with your phone still to take the photographs on the Z1? |

Quote:Originally Posted by Peter360 It is possible as HDR seems to be internal feature on a camera sot it is triggered when a signal sent to make a shoot. Plugins are also can be turn on and off through a camera and work with a camera hard button. However since some of them(if not all) required a web interface to use them that may explain why they do not work with any 3rd party apps. @leonherbert, I have not had a chance to do it. I was focused on making it work with my RTK receivers. One of them needed to run on a smartphone with a special NTRIP app so doing it through bluetooth and Theta GPS plug in would not help me at all. |
