I’ve been pretty enthused about geocoding images lately. Granted, I was already a fan a of geotagging my images using Flickr, but the idea of recording a photo’s location data via GPS and embedding it directly to the EXIF data is just so much cooler. I’ve been strolling around with the now discontinued, but perfectly capable Garmin ETrex Legend C. I’m downloading my tracks and mapping the location to my photos using the time in the EXIF header with the fantastic, free app GPSPhotoLinker. It’s certainly much easier, and faster than trying to manually map each photo, which is exactly why I only had a handful of geotagged photos up until this point.
You can see my first set of images taken around Phoenixville and coded using this technique here, or on my Flickr map. There’s also a link on each photo’s page that will allow you to view the location on Google Maps or fly to the location using Google Earth (which you surely have already installed right?).
You can also read a lot more on the subject including other techniques for coding/tagging your photos here and probably a gajillion other places on the web.
Ya, we got blessed with a new hizzy in a part of town thats actually enjoyable (no offense to G-towners, I realize G-town is for lovers) to live and operate in. We’ve already met a ton of great people in the two days we’ve been here.
