Viewing geotaged info outside of Flickr or Google Earth
|
Hey all,
I'm wondering if there is an application out there that will let you view or export the EXIF data outside of a map situation.
Specifically I have geotaged hundreds of photos and would love an easy way to export that geotaged info into an excel spreadsheet so I can have the exact location data in my species sightings database. So far I have not found a way to do a mass export of this geotaged data, say a whole folder (or even just VIEW the EXIF data of one photo, let alone many, outside of google earth or flickr maps for that mater).
Anyone have ideas?

Geosetter will give you the details in a nice manner that is easy to copy and paste, though it won't export them as such. And I'm sure you could probably use Exiftool to export the data in the way you suggest, but that's beyond my ability to manage

I use a program called jhead which will extract all kinds of information from an exif. It's available from www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/ . It's a command line program, and it won't put out in excel format, but you might be able to massage it into a comma separated file (CSV) and import it.

RoboGEO will do that. Just load the previously geocoded images into the grid (press F2), select the images (ctrl-a), copy the data to the clipboard (ctrl-c), then paste everything into Excel or any program that accepts tab-delimited data.

Geosetter can generate GoogleEarth KMZ files (that include photos and any other meta-data you like). A KMZ is just a zipped format... and inside you will find real XML documents you could opt to parse into a CSV, which Excel could open. (a bit convoluted but doable if you have a bit of programming skills).
RoboGeo sounds easier but is not free. ;-)

Kaylee Skylyn I don't know how you're familiar with command line :) But exiftool is your friend. It's free. It can do this for thousands of photos if wished. You can define the output format which means you can adapt it to your scope.
The tool:

Examples for the use:

Don't be scared by the look of the pages. If you need help you can ask there or here.

Thanks for the replies!
Looks like some good tools there and I'll look into them a bit more. I do like the look of RoboGeo, it has allot of functions, but not sure I want to buy it yet. The command line stuff looks intimidating at first glance...I'll research the suggestions here a bit more.

Kaylee Skylyn I read your other request only now. For the viewing I can recommend Photome. As far as I know one of the best exif viewer. Very nice.

For exiftool, as told you'll find help here. If you maybe explain a little more in detail your format of the exported gps data I could deliver you a little script which you could call for exporting all GPS data of all images in one folder.
