PhotoMapper loads in the image data, and puts it into a scrollable list that shows the name, date and time the photo was taken. First off, you don’t have to select an entire directory of pictures you can choose one, some, or all the pictures in a single directory to geotag using the File => Import images command. PhotoMapper: PhotoMapper has more features, and a lot more flexibility, than Grazer, but that’s OK, because it has a simple and intuitive interface. But you don’t have to – the next program does a far better job than Grazer on matching timezones, and does a lot more. If you have the same problem, you could probably work around it by setting your camera’s time and date to GMT, to match the GPS’s native timezone. I suspect that the program isn’t correcting properly for the timezone difference. I’d like to report on how well the program works, but I can’t – it was unable to timestamp my photos taken in the Arizona timezone, even when the timezone offset was specified in the configuration window (-7h from GMT). Here you select the directory (or directories) that contain the photos you want to geotag, the time tolerance (how closely the photo’s timestamp needs to match up with the GPS location’s timestamp), and the offset between the camera’s timezone and GMT (UTC), the timezone used by the GPS to timestamp locations in the GPX file. Then click on the red “Configure” underneath: Start up the program:Ĭlick on the blue “Configure” at top to select a single GPX file that contains position and time data for the photos you want to tag. Grazer: Grazer is the simplest program I’ve found – all it does (purportedly) is embed the geographic data from a GPX file into a photo based on timestamp. While I’ll be posting about some of those shortly, I thought I’d start out with two more modest programs that don’t do much more than geotag the photos. There are a fair number of programs that not only embed geographic data from a GPS file into a photo’s EXIF header, but also have a host of other features as well.
