Pulling GPS data from Photo into Map Overlay

[Pho3nix]

Hi guys,

Looking to find the location a picture was taken as I'm putting the Lat and Long data into google but it isn't working
Has anyone done this and will be able to assist?

do you want to code this, or just use an application that already does this?

If there is an application that already does this, that would be awesome

Remember that you camera must have GPS support else you wont get the location

On a Mac

If you’re using a Mac, you can access your GPS information by simply right clicking on the photo file you want to view and then picking “get info.”

This will bring up a box showing all of the EXIF data attached to that particular image file.

On a PC

It’s a little different on a PC, but it’s pretty much the same thing. Right click on your image, and then pick “properties”. From there, a similar window should pop up, click "details" and it will show all the EXIF data, including the location of the picture you just took.

Got the EXIF data but for some reason the Google ain't showing me the place unless I'm doing it wrong :? Can I import the EXIF data into Google earth or something?
