| Summary | 0001045: Geosetter does not recognize GPS-Logfiles produced by Canon compact camera | ||||
| Description | My Canon Powershot SX230HS produces LOG files of geo coordinates, when configured to do so. Unfortunately, Geosetter does not recognize the logs as geo coordinates. | ||||
| Additional Information | I'll upload such a log file as soon as I find one -- I have just found out that development of Geosetter is continuing, so I registered anew with this mantis to enter this bug report. | ||||

1305020.LOG (6,383 bytes) |
|
|
The file looks like a normal NMEA-0183 file. Maybe it is the initial line identifying the camera which makes Geosetter refuse it. |
|
|
If you replace the first line of your NMEA file with the following line GeoSetter can read your track. @Sonygps/ver1.0/wgs-84 I've cut the first line of your log, but that didn't help. I also have not found any information about this first line in a NMEA file. |

The "@Sonygps/ver1.0/wgs-84" line is not too different from the @CanonGPS/ver1.0/wgs-84/Canon PowerShot SX230 HS/21173c124b794f3e93fa46e459b265c2/003c in the Canon file. Except that the Canon adds two more parameters, the Camera model, and the serial number of that camera. The Canon "Map utility" shows those information when loading a given GPS log/trace file: /Canon PowerShot SX230 HS/21173c124b794f3e93fa46e459b265c2/003c So, when Geosetter can skip over the @SonyGPS line, it should be not a too difficult task to jump over any other manufacturer identification line, too. Well, just pick up the other interesting information, like the reference system (wgs84 in both cases). Also both manufacturer lines display a "ver1.0" as a kinda second parameter, and this might refer to a version of NMEA-0183? Or version of what? |

I don't know if there is something hard coded in GeoSetter. I've tried @Canogps/ver1.0/wgs-84 (same length as the Sony string), but that did not work. Perhaps Friedemann can say something to this issue. |

This issue seems to have been covered in a GPSBabel forum July 2012 .. http://gpsbabel.2324879.n4.nabble.com/NMEA-0183-to-GPX-td4174.html Here is a copy from the 'fix' post This device (stupidly) marks all your points invalid (that's the "A" in the GPRMC) In the development version, we've added an 'ignore_fix' option to the NMEA reader so when a device tells us "hey, I didn't really have a fix, but here's the position I was last turned on at..." we'll ignore Until that version is released, you can build GPSBabel from source and use that, search and replace the ",A," with a ",V," or, better yet, bug Canon to fix their device.
