Feedback:

Warning: Time is too far from nearest GPS fix 28939 1800 in File:Geotime (ValueConvInv) - <filepath>
Warning: No writable tags set from <filepath>

I'd like to know what time/date it's using. I think I have good information for the photo and need to figure out what I'm missing. Not my normal time zone and a new camera, so I may have something wrong.

Thank you

See Geotag Troubleshooting #3.  If you add the -v2 (-verbose2) option, exiftool will list the start and end time from the GPS track and the UTC time used for each image.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

BTW, I think I probably added those numbers in the "too far from nearest fix" warning for debugging.  I should remove those.  Or at least change them to something more understandable, eg)

Warning: Time is too far from nearest GPS fix (28939 sec) in File:Geotime (ValueConvInv)
I think I'll just put it back to how it was in version 12.66:

Warning: Time is too far from nearest GPS fix in File:Geotime (ValueConvInv)
