Tag Your Photos by GPS

Yeah its a nice idea have done a few, like the hard way but many I forget to put the gps co ords and rely on memory (failed hope).

This sounds like a better way but would cost me heaps ie new camera etc :).

Have to slow down and continue the way I'm going for the time being.

Doug,

Sounds like a great way to be able to organise your photos. Using the 'push pin' function, you could create a map, download your track files or draw the route manually showing dates, etc, then link your photos to each location.

Has anybody done this and is it reasonably easy for the technically challenged?

Matt.

Yes and automatic gps position for each photo would be greast if people then put the pics into our Places system! When I take trip photos for example, I take a waypoint (Alt K) with OziExplorer on the laptop (on dashboard deskmount) and name the waypoint on the go. When I download the photos to Picassa, I type a caption for most photos - either to match the waypoint id that I took at that location, or the name of the point of interest - text can be used for keyword searching later. I notice that Picasa also has an option for "geotag with google earth" as a function for each photo) but I presume that's a manual function, I don't use it. I use the time/date function to ensure I've got the pics in perfect order and match it up with the plot file too to be exactly sure.

There are a number of programs around that takes the time of the photo, and the time recorded with the Ozi Explorer track file, puts them together and creates a way point for each photo.

I have a Nikon D200 and the Bluecan2 which I use with my

Globalstar BT338 GPS that also links with my laptop for Copilot and
