D500 Set-up Question

[LarryG]

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Hope that everyone is staying safe.
I recently purchased the Nikon D500 and love it. I would like to be able to get GPS location settings from my i-phone. I see that I can do that if I set up automatic uploading of pictures to the phone. Does anyone know how to get just the GPS data WITHOUT the picture uploads?
Thank you very much,
.....Larry

The only way I know of is through the phone....but it works well.

Or with an accessory GPS unit: https://fatfreeart.com/gps-for-nikon-d500/

I've not done it, but my understanding is that you can use Snapbridge to do it and not necessarily have the images transferred to your phone. I've not tried it, but we've had a couple people on our workshops who were doing it so I know it's possible.

Thanks all. I found a setting in the Snapbridge App that allowed me to turn off the auto transfer of pictures while still maintaining the location data.
