Yep, a +1 to that. Spending the time to get the sync right at a later
date (when you forgot to take a sync photo that day) would save a lot
of messing around and enable the photos to be used for other purposes.
At some point I'd like to see our own photos online as they can
generally be better placed for accuracy than any counterpart that
hasn't gone through this synchronisation process.
