Is there a way to show coordinates on pix?

[CTMIAMI]

I use Litchi.
I look for sick trees in my work. It is important to be able to go back and take a ground look at the suspect tree. In a large area 20-25 acres would be nice to have the coordinates ( or any other telemetry) in the photo or video so you can go back to it. I tried tying a setting to do this but is probably in front of my nose.

Here's one way.
Every photo you take has some hidden data that records the GPS location of the Phantom when the picture was taken.
This is the Exif data and there are a number of programs that would help you to display it (use Google to find some).
When you find a point of interest, hover above and take a photo straight down like this:

That's the display from Photoshop showing some of the Exif info.

You an also upload your flight record to https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/
From there you can download a KML file that shows your flight in Google Earth and you could read coordinates from the screen there.

Here's another I use. As Meta suggested, hover over your POI and take picture or multiple pictures during the flight. Then I use the free Coordinates Calculate and Convert a Positon App to match the exact position from the picture on the crosshairs of the App map - instant readout in Lat Long to nearest second or decimal readout.
Some reviews have mentioned a problem with iOS 10 using the app but is working perfect for me.

CTMiami - new Litchi update allows Lat Long of drone to be continuously displayed on the screen. Selectable in settings.

I understand but why can't they show it in the picture or video as an option. What I do is to find sick trees in groves how do people know where they are located. I send them a picture, they need to get the coordinates out of the picture put them into an app or google for find out the location. Very cumbersome process.

My thought was if you identify a sick tree by hovering over it, simply take a screen shot photo which shows the exact Lat Long and forward that photo out of your device photo library to your people. Not perfect but doable until the option you want is available.

You may not be able to do it in drone/camera but I am sure there are third party apps that can superimpose EXIF data onto the image itself post processing.

Perhaps something like this link may help: Overlay certain EXIF data onto image.... - ImageMagick

If it is part of your job to find sick trees give them the Lat Long info and charge extra for it. You might send them more than one photo. One from far away with land marks they recognize, and another close up.
