does anybody know of a program that i can use to try and geotag images from my canon SLR using my n95?
i was thinking of a program where you put in the image filename (ie dsc0032) and it grabs the location using the gps. or maybe does it via timestamps (as long as the phone/camera are synced)
theres a device that already does this, but its �70, and i reckon with a bit of hacking around, the n95 could do it just as well...

anyone know of owt that i could try?
(hi, first post. been a lurker for aaaages though. been using my n95 for over 18 months now)
Hi Wayne
Just found out how to sort this earlier in the week. The new version of Nokia Photo's has a mappping section. If you import a picture into the programme non geo tagged pictures appear in a "tray" at the bottom of the screen. Provided you know where you took the photo, you drag it onto the map above. Doing this with a couple of pics has geotagged them, checked this by then posting on Ovi and the location appears in a Google map next to the picture.
Hope this helps

hiya mike.
that sounds like its a start, but i can do that just as easily on my desktop pc (probably easier).. i take tons of photos on a compactflash card, so copying them to my phone isnt really practical.
im thinking more of a program to log my gps coordinates and what time i'm where, spit that out to a file (.kml or something) so i can extract the gps locations at specific times and match them up with a bunch of photos ive copied to my pc...
the amazon link wasnt very good. heres a review of what the thing does (which is much easier to figure out than me babbling on and on: http://www.navigadget.com/index.php/2008/09/19/qstarz-bt-q1300-review/
cheers,

ok, ive decided to try using nokia sports tracker when i'm out and about to log my GPS data. this should output to a kml or csv file.
now i just need to work out some way of automating grabbing the exact location from the gps data for when the camera took the photo (i've made sure the camera and phone have the same timestamps)
if anyone has any suggestions for this, please shout up. i'm running linux, but can use windows or osx if i need to...
This is a bit of a round about way ofdoing it, but if you have a data plan available with plenty of data allowance, you could use Shozu on the n95 and take a snap with the phone camera each time you take a pic at a new location and let shozu upload your images to flickr etc. Or just use the co-ordinates embedded in the N95-Shozu images and embed them into the metadata of the SLR images once at the PC.
What would be cool is an app where u press a button on the phone or even the camera shutter button and the software would log the current time/date and GPS position. Just press each time you visit a new location or take a shot.
Is there a way of adding your current location in Nokia Maps or even Google Maps as a favourite? I don't know how this could be exported though.
A quick brainwave...isn't there a new version of Sportstracker coming out which will let you take geotagged pictures and upload to Ovi? Still, not an ideal solution but the data will be embedded in your N95 images to be used with your SLR shots on the PC.
well obviously the phone camera can do geotagging right in the phone's software. install location tagger and it will embed each picture that you take with the GPS coordinates in real time right into the photo. but since you want to do it on another device, that's a different story. it would be a good project to try and write and app that does this. maybe python would work?

Try Geosetter on Windows or GPSPhotoLinker on Mac to geotag your photos using the kml file that you can export from Nokia Sport tracker.

Have a look at http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/ It's a python library for manipulating exif and iptc tags. There is a sample command line app included which lets you manipulate tags. Works OK with Linux, should work with Windows too.
I use the library in a Gtk app I wrote to edit Exif and IPTC tags. You can edit the GPS tags, although I haven't tried to do that myself.
