Hey All,
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. I have done my google searches but found the info all over the map.
I am looking to build a device that will track my movements (walking) with the ability to take pictures and geotag. The goal is to carry this device and record my tracks when metal detecting and be able to take pictures of my "special" finds that will load to a map.
Need buttons to start stop track and one for camera. led's for confirmation would be great also. Final addition would be a small screen for camera and maybe a HMI input screen.
Thanks in advance.

And what is the question?
How far have you got? Have you got 'stuck' somewhere?
Re: GPS and camera
Just at the design stage. Looking for sample projects and what to purchase. Apologizes for being vague.B.Goode wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 3:57 pmcormad wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 3:06 pmHey All,

I see a lot of vehicle Cam projects, I just want tracking and photo's
Re: GPS and camera
Here's an example. Needs a pi camera, a USB GPS, 4 leds and 2 buttons.
Note it simply logs the NMEA data, you'll need to decode it if needed.
https://www.gpsinformation.org/dale/nmea.htm
Pressing BOTH buttons will shutdown the PI.
Update: Will now GEOtag the gps data on to the photos, if GPS locked OK.
Another version with display...

Re: GPS and camera
Here is guide which does something similar with a Raspberry Pi zero attached to a cap.
https://ozzmaker.com/raspberry-pi-embed ... gps-10dof/
It automatically takes pictures every so often and Geo tags as well as records pitch, roll and the direction the photo was taken.
Im sure this would be easy to update so that if a button is pressed, it would take a photo manually

Re: GPS and camera
There are two method I would look at if it was me soon this.
Method1.
First using Python3 on the Pi.
buy a cheap USB mk8030 GNSS device
A Pi Camera of desired quality.
Look at the gps3 module for Python3.
one of their example creates a kml file as used by google and other mapping programs.
I would then use the PiCamera Python3 module and its example for taking a photo and adding GPS coordinates to the image information, a mapping program can then use that as location data.
Method,2
My mobile compact computer (or smart phone as we call them in the UK, or smart camera as they seem marketed as in reality
)
Download an app that does it all for you.
comes with GPS, battery, screen and camera. Very cheap, light and compact in comparison.
Basically, don't be scared of using a ready built solution.
Look for waterproof versions too.
A quick search and LD-Log looks promising for this. I know Strava can do the logging and picture side, but it's not the solution you really want.
HMI, is that a metal detector interface? See if anyone has made an app for that via USB or Bluetooth.
