[Qgis-user] authomatic georeferencing or positioning of a feature

[Saber Razmjooei]

Hi Mary,

Depends on whether you have turned your geolocation on in your camera
settings.

Recently we have added the function in https://inputapp.io (a mobile app
based on QGIS) which records location and direction of the photos you take:

I hope it helps.

Kind regards
Saber
