Then, ideally, I can manually see the matching photos and do a copy/paste of the GPS data from one window to the other. One for my older Aperture folders and one for my lightroom photos. What I really need is HoudeGeo to allow me to open two windows at once. There's no easy way to do this that I can find since I've been restructuring names, and filtering out some photos now in LR. I've modified hundreds of photos within lightroom, so the task is much harder now as I'd have to export sidecar info in LR, then import to HGeo, then reload metadata into LR. I'm not sure why the export didn't include GPS data, but none of the photos have preserved the GPS data now that they're in Lightroom. I will add more info about the EXIF export and about manually geocoding using a map or Google Earth later.I'm trying to geotag thousands of photos that I've moved from Aperture to Lightroom. Flickr export will see enhancements in the future.

HoudahGeo 1.4 should add support for serial devices HoudahGeo 1.4 to be released in the Macworld Expo timeframe USB support for Wintec is not available yet. These images have GPS EXIF tags written to them.

When uploading to Flick, downsized JPEG copies of your images areĬreated.

UPDATE : Info from the author of HoudahGeo, Pierre Bernard Presumably it's only uploading the files to Flickr with the GPS info in their EXIF if you have already done this step in the software? It's a little bit unclear what's happening with EXIF.you can't upload selected images to Flickr, only all of them.if you have reverse geocoded your photos, there is no option to upload this information either as tags or description.it will automatically set tags of HoudahGeo, geotagged, and the geo: lat/long machine tags.there's no ability to set your own tags.The Flickr export is a bit underfeatured: It can do Flickr uploading (with usual initial built-in authorisation step). (In case you're wondering, the area where I took the photos doesn't have high-res satellite imagery, which is why Google Earth is just showing a green blur.)

The track display in Google Earth is fairly standard for this sort of software As with most features in HoudahGeo, it appears you can only choose to export all of the images, rather than pick and choose. The Google Earth export provides a number of options, including exporting time-based tracks (something I usually have to do with - see example). NOTE: This applies to the reverse coding only (City and Country), not to the GPS coordinates. Unfortunately reverse geocoding is a bit of a black art - it got most of my photos right, but some it placed in an adjacent town. In the final step, you can write to the photo EXIF (storing the GPS data within the photo's metadata), export to Google Earth, and upload to Flickr.Īlthough it is not highlighted, you can also do 'reverse geocoding', to retrieve city, province, and country information. I did automatic geocoding, using a GPX file from my Qstarz BT-Q1000, downloaded/exported using BT747.

Another alternative is to use BT747 GPS software, which can talk to iTrek/iBlue and Qstarz GPS models (and may eventually support other MTK chipset GPSes). HoudahGeo uses gpsbabel, which should mean that Globalsat DG-100 support is coming.

SIDEBAR: The state of GPS logger support on a Mac is rather sorry.

Next you need to either get GPS data, or manually position the image(s)įor direct GPS download HoudahGeo supports Garmin, Magellan, and Wintec WBT-100/200/201 over USB and Bluetooth. (I set my camera to UTC time, just to keep things simple.) See about time for more information about GPSes and timezones. HoudahGeo will ask you for your camera's timezone, with optional error

(Disclosure: Houdah provided me with a free license for HoudahGeo.)įirst, select your images (drag and drop, or use a thumbnail browser - you can select individual files or entire directories). HoudahGeo makes it much easier, as it is specifically designed for the task, and includes the ability to auto-geocode using timestamp matching (the same idea as e.g. I have previously written about the rather roundabout way in which GraphicConverter allows you to manually geocode your photos. Assuming you can get your GPS data onto your Mac, there are some good software options for geocoding photos.
