[Digikam-users] Tips on workflow with Android GPS app and Digikam geodata?

[sleepless]

Hi Willem,
I think that reopening a very old discussion causes some confusion here. 
At this moment Philip did not participate, he only brought it up months ago.
But My tracks and dk is a great combination, mytracks outputs a gpx 
which is suffucient to dk to link your photoś to the appropriate location.

My point here was to lay the track over a map while being offline.
