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. |

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. |

I use either a dedicated GPS recorder (AMOD) or my iPhone or both. On the iPhone I can use several apps but have tended to use Trails - as I mentioned in my first reply to the OP. |

All relevant information is recorded. That sounds like the hard way given what the OP wants to do. That well may be. For a lot of images it would be a PITA. I do geotagging primarily so I can come back to the location, and/or let my friends know the location. I started doing that after I saw some great potential shots, but was unable to stop. I have been unable to locate that area on Google, and I was unable to transfer the locations from my car's GPS. A few weeks ago we were just going for a ride, looking for possible fall foliage shots. I quickly realized that I was a few days early, so I took some iPhone shots, for general location purposes only. https://www.dropbox.com/s/awo5errl9x8hojw/Photo%20Oct%2021%2C%201%2051%2038%20PM.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/11bsk8ervy7nofb/Photo%20Oct%2021%2C%204%2000%2024%20PM.jpg?dl=0 Unfortunately we had a Nor'easter, that blew away the leaves. But at lease I can look in that area next year.

Recording the position in a single shot is a fine backup, but pretty tedious if you have 50 - 100 photos to tag afterwards. Agreed. If geotagging all of my images was important to me, I would attach a GPS gadget to my camera. -- PeterN |
