Title: Link GPS data and photos together...
#1
Many sailors and passengers often shoot hundreds and more pictures during a sailing cruise. The big challenge after the journey is to catalogize these pictures and remembering the locations (on sea often difficult) the pictures were taken.
A remedy to this is writing down a logbook with GPS coordinates or buying a special GPS to be connected to a high tech cam (like some Nikon cam can do). The first way is laborous and the latter expensive.
Now comes the solution from Jeffrey J. Early in form of GPSPhotoLinker http://oregonstate.edu/~earlyj/gpsphotolinker/index.php .

This free application for OS X, just loads the EXIF data from your digital photos and combines it with the tracklog data of your GPS, by checking time and data of both files.
Et voilà, your pictures do have geo coordinates associated. With other geo progs (GoogleEarth, MapThePhoto) you can have great maps with the linked photos.
The recent version also works with RAW digital image data!

Have fun.

Manou
