Using the iphone for geo-tagging photos from other cameras is almost EASIER than doing it properly for the internal camera. If I were more up to speed on iPhone dev i'd check to see why it's not possible to just write a camera app that is location aware and writes the geo-data into the EXIF.
#Houdahgeo vs photolinker plus
GPX Tracklogs are one method but as you can't background applications yet there is no easy way to stop tracking and do something else, plus the other uploaders (beyond the one that took the track, if it has it) won't honor the location at time of photo taken, even if you were logging when you took it. but it's collected at time of upload, not taken. many uploaders allow setting the geo-data. The main annoyance for me is photos that I upload directly from the phone. The accuracy of GeoLogTag is amazing and battery life is as documented (4-5 hours). To geotag photos on my Mac I use the GPX file exported by GeoLogTag in combination with HoudahGeo.
I'm using GeoLogTag for some time now and I'm very satisfied.įor my Flickr photos it's extremely easy because the app geotags the photos directly. I haven't used it for geotagging a secondary camera yet, but seems like it should work well combined with some desktop app for the photo to waypoint association step.Īs a bonus it also lets you jump into the iphone camera without breaking the logging. The paid version adds a bunch more navigation functions. No need to upload and re-download the GPX format from some web service. It seems nicer to me because you can email your GPX file directly to an email address (yourself). "GPSLite" is another free one that will do waypoints (and track log, with interval adjustments etc). Works great, totally free, and is less tedious than using Google Earth and Geotagger, though that is still the best option when I haven't had the foresight to run TrailGuru. I can now geotag the photos either one-by-one or as a batch, telling GPSPhotoLinker whether I want it to use the GPX data point closest in time to the photo's timestamp, or use a time-weighted-average position (since the photo's time stamp will almost always be in between two GPX data point time stamps). I drag the photos I want to geotag directly from iPhoto into the "Photos" pane of GPSPhotoLinker. I import the photos from my camera into iPhoto. I start "GPSPhotoLinker" (also free) on my mac.

I go to and download the GPX file for my track. I post the track to the TrailGuru website by hitting the "post track" button on the app when I'm done with my hike/photography. I use the TrailGuru iPhone app (free) to track my position while hiking. I'll give it a try but as I am on crutches atm, it may be a while before I can give a review.Looks good.I always have to run around for my GPS tagger but always have my phone. It's specifically designed for geologging and geotagging.
There's another app available in the App Store now called GeoLogTag.
#Houdahgeo vs photolinker manual
Not only does it record automatic track logs and manual waypoints that can be exported in GPX format for use in geotagging, but the latest version is integrated with TrailRunner for direct data acquisition - an excellent Mac app for working with and analyzing track logs. ITrail has received more positive than negative reviews (at least in the UK iTMS). I'm curious if anyone has more experience with either of these, or another way to use the iPhone to record waypoints or tracklogs? Thanks! How did it work out for you? Will it record a continuous tracklog? Someone in another thread recommended an app called iTrail, which got a lot of negative reviews on iTunes, but it sounds like that's mostly people using it for jogging and stuff, not geotagging. It seems to do the job I was looking for, and will test it over the WE.
Perhaps I should add that this will work with any digital camera, not just a Leica one.I just noticed this new application iMarkMySpot: One thing is that because it uses the time that the DNG was created at in order to determine the location, both iPhone and camera need to have their time synchronised. The video uses iPhoto, but the process is the same if you use Aperture or Lightroom. There's an extensive tutorial video on the Trails page above that shows what's involved.

If you use a PC I'm sure there are similar programs available. I have a Mac and an M8 and use a program called HoudahGeo- HoudahGeo - Geocoding for the Mac - this updates the Exif data with the locations.

You then need to use some software to take the GPX file and update the M9's DNG files. Trails can then export all the waypoints as a GPX file. There's an iPhone app called Trails - trails - Intuitive GPS tracking on the iPhone - this will run on the iPhone and take GPS snapshots of your location.
