Gpx photo geotagger 5 Best Free Geotagging Software For Window. Looking for (free) software to geotag photos' EXIF using GPX Mar 9, 2011 I. Geotag Photos Pro for iPhone and Androi. If you're an avid geotagger and own a Nikon GP-1 (or compatible) on-camera GPS. 「Geotag Photos Tagger (GPX)」. Typical use of MassGeotagger is 1. Select a photo file or a photo folder, select whether you want to recursively parse the folder then parse it. The result of the parsing will be displayed in the result panel with thumbnail, file name, photo timestamp and coordinates.
I take a lot of photos while trekking, and most of the time I'm also carrying a GPS with me. As my camera don't have a built-in GPS, my photos are not geotagged while shooting. Luckily, this is an easy task if you've kept your GPS logs from the trip.
I'm still very happy with my Garmin GPSmap 60CSx that I bought 7 years ago. By changing the setup, the GPS allows me to automatically save the tracks to the memory card. I get one GPX file for each day trekking named with the date. I can easily transfer these tracks to my computer or smartphone with a cable or a card reader.
Before I converted to Mac, I used GeoSetter to geotag my photos on Windows. Now, I want to do it on the command line using the great ExifTool by Phil Harvey. I installed it on my MacBook using Homebrew:
brew install exiftool
After copying my GPX file to the image folder, I'm simply running:
If you forgot to sync the camera and GPS time before your trip, you can use the geosync-option to fix it: (60:00 = 60 minutes):
exiftool -geotag=20140329.gpx -geosync=-60:00 ./
You have a lot of options, so make sure to read the 'Geotagging with ExifTool' documentation. ExifTool is modifying the Exif headers of your image files, storing the location data in the same file.
To see the result on a map, I'm using Picasa.
Click the map pin button (bottom right) to see the map. If the positions are not shown on the map, try to right-click the image folder and select 'Refresh Thumbnails'.
If you don't have a GPS track you can always use Picasa to manually geotag your photos.
Be aware! I just learnt that social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram removes the Exif data from your images. Google+ don't.
