Use GPStimestamp instead of file / photo date

Hi, I use my GoPro 6 to capture for mapillary seamlessly. Unfortunatly I noticed that the internal date was missed up, which results in wrong date (1.1.2016) also here at mappilary.

I was wondering why the platform doesn’t make use of the GPS date if available? Isn’t it a much more reliable source a unique timestamp for a global community?

AFAIK mapillary_tools uses GPS EXIF data if it it is already there. ie Date/Time and co-ordinates. No need to geo-encode from a separate GPX etc file.

I thought that, too. Unfortunatly it uploades this unplausible timestamps and I’m unable to fix it :roll_eyes:

We do read GPS timestamps but it’s not the preferred one yet. Will fix it in new mapillary_tools and DU.
