Description

Whether I am taking a photo or selecting a custom layout button to mark a sign or object I want the location that is saved as a waypoint to match the place where I took the photo or pressed the button not the place I am when I press OK (in the case of a photo). This effect of this issue varies depending on your speed when you take the photo. From a train it is very obvious. Please could this behaviour be changed or an option created to provide this behaviour for those who want to work this way.
For clarity I am using OSMTracker for Android 2025.02.26

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Arrive at a place, Mark this place using custom layout,
  2. Move to another place such as an information board. Take a photo of the board and carry on moving
  3. After moving say 100m press the confirmation button 'OK'
  4. Review your track. Notice that the first waypoint is where you expect it to be and the second waypoint has be placed at the wrong place.
