Re: Image view with support for geotags

Sorry this reply is not threaded, I can only do threaded replies via my dial up line adn the modem is US at the momment. Anyway........... On Sat, 02 May 2015 12:40:41 Chris Samuel said,
Digikam will show you geolocation information for an image, when you are looking at an image on the right hand side there's a vertical tab called "Geolocation" and will overlay the image on a map (KDE Marble by default >butyou can switch to Google Maps if you so wish).
I new about Digikam, I assumed though it was not full free software so I have used "geotag" instead, works well. It uses the browser Chromium to display Googleearth showing the location. Geotag can also do much more.
Don't forget you can also extract the coordinates from the image with the ImageMagick "identify" utility at the command line too (though the format looks a little arcane).
For example:
chris@quad:~/Pictures/Phone/GalaxyNexus/2014-12-08$ identify -verbose 2014-12-08T13\:16\:34.jpg | egrep 'GPSLong|GPSLat' exif:GPSLatitude: 37/1, 48/1, 25488/1000 exif:GPSLatitudeRef: S exif:GPSLongitude: 145/1, 14/1, 7902/1000 exif:GPSLongitudeRef: E
Best of luck! Chris
There's a cleaner way to do the above using "exiftags" zlinw@wolflianli:~/images$ exiftags 20090128_111751-043.jpg | grep itude exiftags: field count mismatch (NikonWhiteBalBias) Latitude: S 36° 27.7701' Longitude: E 146° 13.4310' Altitude: 242.00 m My main purpose for the post though was to try and identify a particular program which I KNOW does this. I can visualise the actual screen layout but dammed if I can remember its name. Geotag does a job much closer to what I really require though. It has been educational!. Lindsay
