Release 0.8.0 - Do you have a digital camera?

Tuesday, April 15. 2008

A major new feature has landed and albeit still experimental I'm quite excited myself about it: viewing geocoded photos.

.
.

Version 0.8.0 digest:
.

New feature:

  • showing geocoded photos

Other:

  • satellites in view are now shown
  • bugfix for lock-up when no gpsd is running
Here is what it looks like and now that I have it I wonder how I have ever lived without it :-)

f

1: (satellites in view)/(satellites used)/(HDOP): 1/0/0.0

2: clickable photo icon

3: geo photo

.

Screenshot of the desktop/eeePC version:

.

So how do you get your photos into it?

.

Step 0:

install sqlite3 and jhead, download geotag2db.pl

.

Step 1:

You need geotagged photos with GPS info in the EXIF data. See in the doc section for more info/howto. There is a new article about correlating photos and tracks.

.

Step 2:

Run: 

geotag2db.pl /directory/with/your/photo/direcories

This produces a /tmp/geophoto.db

.

Step 3:

Load the photo info database

.

Now click on any photo icon and select geo photo in the pop-up menu

.

Et voila! A thumbnail of the photo is shown.

.

.

.

Downloads

You have no geotagged photos but want to see/test yourself? Here are some photos and a database:

geophoto.tgz - save it to your /tmp directory, then

 cd /tmp && tar xfvz geophoto.tgz
 That's it.

Cool thing!!!

What about adding also the support for geotagging photos?
I mean, many tools (like digikam, but I know it isn't the only one) allow to set the photos geotag according to a gpx track recorded using a GPS device (comparing time/position).

What about adding this feature to tangoGPS?
Thanks!

You can use gpscorrelate-gui for that. Check out in the documentation section how to do this.

I'll see if I'll do in a future version a tighter integration with tangoGPS.
