PixGPS - New Geotagging Software
There's a new photo Geotagging available for Microsoft Windows called PixGPS. PixGPS is software that will calculate the exact location where you took your photos and store this in the photo file. You can also view the location of photos on maps, in Google Earth, or save the coordinates as a comma separated text file.
PixGPS offers an inexpensive way of tracking the exact location of your photos. All you need is a GPS Receiver with tracking capabilities (most GPS' will do this). Turn on the GPS and put it in your camera bag or a pocket. Take the photos. When you get home, download the photos and the GPS track file to your computer. Run PixGPS. PixGPS will now read the track file and calculate the latitude/longitude for each photo. This takes only a couple of minutes for hundreds of photos.
These positions are stored as EXIF-GPS meta data in the image files. This way the position will stay with the photo. PixGPS can export the positions in KML format so you can see where the photos were taken in Google Earth. Positions can also be exported as CSV (Comma Separated Values), ready to be used with any software supporting this format, for example Microsoft Autoroute.
PixGPS can be used on PC running the Microsoft Windows® 2000/XP/Vista operating system. The price is $19.95 (US), which includes two years of free upgrades.
