Photo with wrong GPS location

[Robbycop]

Hi Folks,

I'm only a view sec's on this great forum, because I bought my S3 just a view hours ago.

And now here it comes my first problem.

When I take pics with the camera with locations on it give a totally wrong location like 300 KM away where I'm located does anybody know whats wrong ?

Thanks in advance for any response !

You should make sure that the GPS is working by using Google Maps. Then, if that is ok, you need to make sure that you give the GPS enough time to get a position fix before taking a photograph. My experience of the S3's GPS is that it is much, much faster than my old phone to get an accurate position, but it will always take a bit of time to communicate with 6-7 satellites, do a bit of talking, and negotiate an agreement regarding map-reading and directions. But we are only talking about a few seconds, not the years that a married couple can spend arguing over such things.
