I have documented my "Mac-only" workflow in another thread:ġ. I carried it along with my iPhone 3G in all my hiking trips in last 2 months. The bread-crumbed track in Google Map and geotagged photo in the Picasa and iPhoto '09 belong to a recent hiking trip logged by Holux M-241. My trip on January 1st 東平州 - My friends could see online. If i want to share on my album it is still my problem - Picasa only support untouched geotag photo using any Mac upload clients, while Flickr mapping support for geotag photo is too terrible. I did not try iPhoto09 but in EXIF it already show my location well. If gpsbabel support your GPS receiver (GPSr), it could read the device directly, grab gpx and do geotagging at the end.Īfter tagged what I did next is drag to iPhoto to import as a Event. In new version of GPSPhotoLinker it make use of gpsbabel, a multiplatform engine for handling gps data. JetPhoto, I'd review that before but I stick to GPSPhotoLinker (Search mac.hk for more details). Now you can import them into iPhoto and everything will be fine. Now the JPEGs will contain the location data no matter where you save them to. Then you can choose the "Merge GPS Metadata into JPEGs" command from the menu to embed the data. To remedy it you have to shell out US$25 to upgrade JetPhoto to the Pro version. (location.jpg)īut the GPS data is NOT embedded into the JPEG EXIF, so when you import them into iPhoto it'll "forget" the locations. Just point it to where you think you took the photo and click "Locate Photo!". Google Map will show up with a crosshair in the middle. Select the photo and choose the "Geotag" pane. After a few seconds, JetPhoto will know where those photos are taken, and a small "G" icon will appear on the left corner of their thumbnails (as shown in jetphoto.jpg).Īs for those that are not tagged (maybe you were indoor where GPS signals cannot reach when you took the photos), you can manually locate them. If the two times are different, use the "Calendar" pane to sync the two time logs by just selecting a pull-down menu item. It'll match the geotags for the photos according to the capture time in the photos' EXIF and the GPS tracking time. (See jetphoto.jpg) Click "Geotag" on the right pane, and then click "Edit". Open JetPhoto, import the JPEGs into it to make an album, then choose the photos in the same location. For the Mac you need to use JetPhoto Studio 2 (also included but feature-limited for free version). You may use the Windows apps that comes with the GPS unit. Then you need to merge the GPS data into your photos. Some apps may not recognize it, so change the suffix to ".gpx". The outputed files will use a suffix of ".xml". Fortunately a web site does it for free for you. Then you need to convert the log files into. It has 128MB of capacity.) Copy the files to your hard drive. (In fact the manual says you can use it as one. Importing GPS data to the Mac or Windows PC is also simple. So just take the photos and turn it off when you're done. After 2-3 minutes the green LED will flash and it means it is tracking GPS signals. Just tie it to the camera or your backpack (need to be more or less steady, not swinging), switch it on and go. No other that I can find on the web claims this compatibility. ( ) It's not the cheapest unit on the market (around US$70 on internet stores, excluding shipping) and even the one from Sony is less expensive, but it's guaranteed to work with the Mac. I've bought the Amod AG元080 GPS Data Logger. Here are some reflections of the process. After some experimentation, it works quite well for me. With the introduction of "Places" in iPhoto 09, I've bought a GPS tracking device and brought it to a recent trip to Taipei. (This is an article I originally posted on the HKMUG BBS.) Just want to share some experience on what I did with my recent trip to Taipei and import into iPhoto 09. For pros the following review may be childplay.
