HOW TO GPS Tag Photos: Flickr, Mappr, Google Earth….
Here’s a simple way of tagging photos with the location of where you took them on planet Earth. There are lots of ways to do this, and I’ll write about those later- but this is fun thing to do over the holiday weekend. As an added bonus- how to see your photos on a cool Mapping application called Mappr, as well as Google Earth…
Pretty neat but a lot of work. Check out QuakeMap - it will take your GPS track log and photos and automatically link the photos on a relief, topographic or aerial photo map - also is a great tool for geocaching.
You can use the plugin for Firefox: greasemonky plus a script I got off of GeoBloggers.
The GeoBloggers way of doing it is easy. You use firefox, get the Greasemonky plugin, then get the script from GeoBloggers. Then all you do is upload a photo to flickr, click “add geotags”, and use the resulting google maps page (with plugins now) to find the coordinates on the map. No GPS needed. You can do this with old images if you are sure of where they were taken. It’s VERY quick and easy to do it this way.
BTW, Geocaching is also great fun! I’m totally addicted.
