We followed a trail yesterday and I used the insta360 for the first part but looks like [I get a trail that is not connected](https://www.mapillary.com/app/user/salgo601?lat=59.506207919863186&lng=17.642071898531754&z=15.10458899222911&pKey=1516096235683728)

**Question:** What to do?

From a outsideders PoV, there is nothing obviously wrong.

A few observations tough is that several of the image sequences are short, like 1, 2, 4 images. To me this would suggest an issue with the source video files, or an issue with the how the upload of individual .jpg files was done.

I’ve experienced similar issues, and in my case it was repeatedly restarting the recording while hiking at a fast pace. The solution was to ensure I stand still while restarting the recording, better yet to re-start the recording a few meters back along the trail - to ensure that there would be no gap between recordings. This as it takes time for the camera to stop the recording, and then to start it and get the GSP receiver up and running again.

However when looking at nearby images sequences, I did notice something obviously wrong with the GPS positions for the images:

Personally I would delete all of the images with obviously faulty GPS position, I would not view these as adding ably value to the users of the map. (You can do this through the “…” Image Options → Advanced menu in the Web-GUI; it is considered normal for the removal request to take around 1~2 weeks to be processed.)

Thanks I [deleted it and used exiftool](https://github.com/salgo60/MapillaryInsta360/issues/18) again on the original picture and now I have [longer sequencies](https://www.mapillary.com/app/user/salgo601?lat=59.5111077&lng=17.6353653&z=17.031982988325613&x=0.8230753210684842&y=0.4919080075453502&zoom=0&fbclid=IwY2xjawGBzCZleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHY88o8VtlJ3HiK0b-NL1OcOy4GFSkmbPvvQimk6rNOFj-ScOT3uyDFdTNg_aem_-5b8-GxRA_m-q6g4344LIg&pKey=501464259553115&focus=photo)

Still some oddities in the beginning…

Update [looks ok now](https://www.mapillary.com/app/user/salgo601?lat=59.508780175607484&lng=17.640917861010507&z=16.497317677367644&pKey=836814898331032&mapStyle=OpenStreetMap&x=0.6377819192910374&y=0.5071393737204579&zoom=0) feels we have some delay

Yes, I believe it is normal for deletion to take up to two weeks to complete processing.
