Morten Grathe Posted September 10, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Last friday Julieanne Kost from Adobe made a very impressive Lightroom-presentation in Copenhagen. One of the things she showed was, that with coordinates from a GPS in the metadata, you can click on the coordinates, and the location shows up in Google Maps. The setup was preset, so I didn't get how she did it. Back home, I did some experimentations, but I can't get it to work. I think it's a very cool feature, especially for travel-photography. So if any of you know how it works, I would like to know. Best regards, Morten Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, Morten Morten, Sony can supply a GPS dongle which plugs into various of their cameras, which then write the GPS coordinates into the EXIF. This can be interpreted by various other bits of software to give you for example the Google Earth cross hairs. I would guess other camera makers are following suit.

wattsy Posted September 10, 2007 Share #3 Posted September 10, 2007 Jobo have a similar GPS product - the photoGPS - which could be used with an M8 (or any other camera for that matter). It looks like a decent enough gadget if you don't mind the size. I can see that there may be some value in knowing the GPS coordinates of a particular shot (especially when it comes to keywording travel related stock) but I don't often have a problem remembering the location (even when it was taken many years ago).

Venkman Posted September 10, 2007 Share #4 Posted September 10, 2007 A couple of solutions are on the market. IIRC, only Sony has a direct connection between camera and GPS, all other are basically a GPS logger. The data, "when you were where" is stored in a log file and afterwards connected to the pictures, mostly by using time format sync. There are some tutorials, you might wanna check this: Andre on Tech: Rails, Geocoding, and Google Maps Some of the newer GPS devices do offer this automatically for various map services.

michael_b_elmer Posted September 10, 2007 Share #5 Posted September 10, 2007 Maybe a hairdryer could be built into the M8 as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootist Posted September 10, 2007 Share #6 Posted September 10, 2007 Never used Google maps but can't you just type in the GPS cordinates and the map will go to that location? Wouldn't this be something that is good for forensic work, like for police and such, and just a toy for the others of the world to fool with. DATA, DATA to much DATA to deal with. Give me the good old day of a note pad and pencil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten Grathe Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted September 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have tried to type the coordinates manually in the location space with the same syntax as Google Earth, but it doesn't seem to work.

woodda Posted September 10, 2007 Share #9 Posted September 10, 2007 The jobo device is huge. Surely is could be smaller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
