Geotagging app
Caan anybody recommend an Android app which records position and
altitude, and later you can add that data to the exif of JPEGs and RAWs? I'm using O.I.Share for the E-M1 II but it doesn't record the altitude. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

I don't have an app suggestion, but a possible idea: If you don't find it you might be able to rig up something with Google maps, which does offer altitude. Sample: Enter this URL into a browser and you'll get back the elevation (in meters) for Boulder, CO. The text is easily parsed and the whole thing can be automated. maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/elevation/json?locations=40.014985,-105.270545 That request returns this: { "results" : [ { "elevation" : 1623.978393554688, "location" : { "lat" : 40.014985, "lng" : -105.270545 }, "resolution" : 19.08790397644043 } ], "status" : "OK" } But then of course there's the issue of auto-entering it into your image files. |

Any trail logger that saves (or exports) date in .kml, .kmz, .gpx, .log (NMEA sentences) should do the trick. But do check that it supports altitude, esp. NMEA files as many do not record altitude. Google Play is the source. This looks promising: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...otracker&hl=en I use a German product called "Trails" on my iPhone - alas not available for Android. I'm using O.I.Share for the E-M1 II but it doesn't record the altitude. As a stopgap you could snap a photo with the Android camera and (if properly set) that data would be saved in the snap for later transfer to the other photos. (tedious). Pretty much any "trail logger" can be used for what you want to do and usually the "tagging" can be made automated in post process. You do need to know the offset from "real time" to your camera's time in order to do that - no big deal using exiftool. (ie: your time zone and the difference between "correct" time and the camera's time (unless you sync'd it all before going out). Important note: GPS altitude â‰* altitude above sea level of where you are as the GPS ellipsoid is not referenced to sea level. |

If you record GPS continuously then tagging any number of photos after the fact takes a minute to set up and a few seconds to execute using a tool like exiftool or any one of a variety of GUI based tools. exiftool -geotag=GPS_20171103_162238.log -overwrite_original_in_place -geosync=-4:00:00 *.dng (Just need to navigate to the folder containing the dng's before executing the command. I keep a "template" of the command in a text file so I just need to paste that into terminal, modify the gps file name and let 'er rip). Recording the position in a single shot is a fine backup, but pretty tedious if you have 50 - 100 photos to tag afterwards. |

That is useful - I've used exiftool before, but this is either new or I have not noticed this feature... What particular app do *you* use for recording travel geo points? |

GPS Essentials: http://www.gpsessentials.com/ I still haven't figured out everything it does - which is a lot - but it will record a track (with altitudes) which you can export as a .gpx file. You can also save waypoints. I use it with GeoSetter (Win only) to geotag images. http://www.geosetter.de/en In spite of what it looks like, geosetter is still in development. Get the beta, as it has some recent developments which make it more useful: www.geosetter.de/geosetter_beta.exe -- Joe Makowiec http://makowiec.org/ Email: http://makowiec.org/contact/?Joe Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |
