I’ve been looking into ways of (quickly and cheaply) geo-tagging my photos, and this is one of the best tutorials I’ve found: geosquan.blogspot.com/2010/03/geotag-photos-with-android-phone-and.html. You don’t even need an Android phone to make this work. What you do need, is a camera, smartphone, and computer.
Here goes the short short version.
1. Download mytracks app (and gpstest app for android)
2. Record a track.
3. When you start shooting, the first picture you take should be of the clock on your phone. You will use this later on to sync your camera time (saved in the meta data) to GPS time (saved in the actual photo). If you have the Android app gpstest, take a picture of that screen instead.
4. When you’re done taking pictures, stop the track and send it to yourself.
5. Use gpicsync to stitch your GPS track data to the EXIF data associated with your images.
6. Post those bad boys up on Flickr, Picasa, or anything else that hooks into GPS data!
I like the flexibility this system provides. You can use the hardware/software combination you like best, and achieve the same results. So cool!
This is a great system for domestic use, but if you go international you will likely have to change the source of your GPS track. I’d look into the Qstarz BT-Q1000XT. I’ve never used it, but it seems to get good reviews on several different sites.
Do you geo-tag your photos? How do you make that happen?
