What a way to find out the GPS on my trusty old camera is dead: all the photos from >300 newts on 1/27 North Side walk showed the same single location point. So rather than take a guess at each location (based on time or whatever), I've deleted all the observations from that day. Apologies.

Too bad! I'm always concerned it will happen while I do the survey. I've got some issues with my iPhone camera now, so I'm constantly checking the photos, making sure they are saved (and still very concerned till I download them safely to my computer).
Also - it seems that we were both surveying the same section of the road. The calendar has you doing the south side on Monday. I added myself for the north side on Tuesday. Is there a better way for us to coordinate?
Really sorry about your data, @anudibranchmom. Life is like that sometimes.
It's interesting that Robin recorded 317 observations on Monday and @merav recorded 464 on Tuesday along the same stretch of road.
Not the same stretch - just a typo in the headline.
UPDATE: Additional bad news, which may come as a relief to those of you who have been so patient with my many errors: During this same ill-fated walk, I tore a tendon in my foot and though I powered through (for nothing), I have been told by my doctor to take a break from hard-surface hikes for 4-5 weeks. See you in March, I hope.
@anudibranchmom, I'm really sorry to hear about your torn tendon. Please take good care of yourself.
sorry to hear that, @anudibranchmom. take care!
@anudibranchmom. I just encountered the same issue this week with a few pictures I took. It turns out that I forgot to set my camera date/time for daylight savings. When I merged my photos with the GPS data file (that had the right date), all photos showed up in the same wrong location. I used the date/time offset feature of GeoSetter (the program I use to write GPS data to my pictures), and everything turned out OK.
Do you think this could be the problem with your camera? If so, is it fixable?
