ArcGIS Explorer Desktop Blog : Adding Geotagged Photos To Your Map. One of the new tasks delivered with ArcGIS Explorer 480 is the Add Photo task. The Add Photo task places photos that have been geotagged on the map. Have a look at the video, then follow along in this post. Let’s take a closer look. First, add the task from the ArcGIS Explorer Resource Center. Your photos must have been taken with a GPS enabled camera that can capture the location in the image header (written to the EXIF header). If you don’t have one of these devices the location can be added to your photos afterwards using applications like Google Picasa and others.
Activate the task and click Browse to navigate to a folder containing geotagged photos. A collection of results will appear, and the photos will be placed on your map. When you click the result the photo will open in the popup window. The Add Photo task allows you to specify settings which let you control whether subfolders are searched, and how various image sizes are handled and displayed in the popup window. Script: Geotagged Photos to GIS | new jersey geographer. One of the data deliverables to the NJ National Guard as part of our GIS Internship program is photo and video documentation of the state’s Readiness Centers. There’s even a SDSFIE (a somewhat complicated, cumbersome data schema) entity type specifically for the location where photographs were taken. (Aside: it’s not surprising that “photograph_location_point” is in SDSFIE, because it seems like everything is in SDSFIE.) We have some cameras that have integrated GPS, so we’ve used them for documenting the field work.
The problem was, “how do we get geotagged photos into GIS?” I think it’s somewhat ridiculous that ArcGIS Explorer has the ability to add geotagged photos to the map, but ArcGIS Desktop doesn’t have a built-in means of recognizing geotagged photos. ArcCatalog already examines JPGs it finds for additional information in the case that the JPG is a spatially-aware aerial photo or a rectified map. I’m pleased with the results. Happy geotagging! Create Google Maps, Google Earth KML or KMZ files, Upload geotagged photos to Flickr, Create SHP shapefiles, DXF files or export GPX files for other GPS utility programs. You can automate any of these processes by specifying the appropriate command line parameter(s). Once your images are geocoded, you can create a webpage that shows where the photos were taken. Here are some examples: 1. Only show the images. No typing is required. If there's direction information associated with the images, the icons will include arrows that point in the direction that the picture was taken.
Optionally, If you don't have any photos and only want to create a web page that shows your tracklog, you can do that too. Web browsers don't typically support RAW formats, so you'll need to convert these to JPG before performing this operation. You'll need to specify a few options for the webpage, information about the GPS tracklog and whether you want to include it, and, optionally, a title and description for each image.

Most often, geotagging refers to adding latitude/longitude to digital picutres. Some people find knowing “where” a picture was taken, as valable as knowing “when” it was taken. For this reason, I’ve begun adding lat/long to some of my pictures, such as a recent trip I took to South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, where I was on safari.
As the ArcGIS Explorer team blogged, adding geotagged pictures to ArcGIS Explorer is really easy! Just insert the “Add Photo” task and then begin adding your photos that you’ve geotagged. . - Tom Baker, ESRI Education Manager Tom Baker is an Esri Education Manager, specializing in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education, teacher education, and educational research.
