Does Picasa recognize geotagger? I am trying to get something that will geotag my photos that are imported into picasa without me having to go to google earth and pinpoint the location for each photo.

I’m using Geotagger, and it seems works fine: the Latitude and Longitude are added to the EXIF data… but Flickr don’t recognise it.

I love the Geotagger – simple to use and giving me all that I expect from it. Thanks much.

There are just two quirks when using it with iPhoto: There is iPhoto itself, that does not update the Exif data.
And the fact that the original file does not get updated if the file has been modified (e.g. due to rotation).
Any way that can be added?

PS: An alternative to the GPSPhotoLinker: Jetphoto Studio (http://www.jetphotosoft.com/).
It’s Mac & Windows and free for that purpose and seems to be reasonably stable (in the Mac version).

You can geotag photos with Picasa. It is from a little company called Google. It works in with conjunction with Google Earth, and is fairly easy to use. You can find it under the Tools > Geotag menu.

Hi Thomas,

Looks similar to the free cleantag software for Flickr and faces.com, cleantag allows you to tag and geotag your photos on your own machine and upload from there, it’s PC only and is compatible with Vista

http://www.cleantag.com/

The software doesn’t alter your photos or the exif data, but we might implement that later depend if people want it – Thomas, what do you think? At the moment Cleantag stores the geotag etc in an XML file and uploads it to the site of choice when you are done.

Help files aren’t done yet and the site looks a bit average, but it’s pretty easy to use and the software is very solid.

Have you checked out the tagging capability of Adobe Lightroom?

As Dave mentioned, the Sony CS1 is a great way to capture geo data (then use RoboGEO to automatically associate the GPS data with the correct images based on the time).

Another way, if you have a camera that supports it (e.g. Nikon D200), is to connect a small GPS directly to the camera while you are shooting. Then the geo data is automatically attached to the images in-camera.

Either way, you avoid the time-consuming (and error-prone) step of manually geotagging the photos in post-processing.

So do you only care about geodata on JPEGs or does Geotagger do RAW files too? If not, do you know of any apps that will geotag RAW files?

I’ve geotagged a few photos on Flickr but haven’t been too comprehensive about it lately since I realized I don’t have it on my originals.

Hi,Thomas.
I, also, am interested in geotagging on my own photos on Zooomr and Flickr, AND even on my blog post itself(which is written in Japanese though).
Chizulog(sorry which is also written in Japanese) is kinda cool stuff I found recently.
Which can check our blog post and extract geodata[like address,lat/longitude,hotels,and even name of a shop],then output geotag automatidcally and show related blogs on the map.And show them on Google Earth,also.
Maybe Kris could translate it for you.
I'm trying to figure out which web app could be easy to use for those purposes.

Anyway,I'm gonna try Geotagger.
Thanks;)
