Procrastination: Geotagging Photos Now that I have a GPS, I can have some fun with hiking and photography. The idea is to record my position on the GPS while hiking (i.e., the tracklog). This will provide me (and others) with a good record of different hikes. In addition, I can pinpoint the location where I took photographs and hence tag the photos with those coordinates (i.e., geotagging). Here is the procedure I use for the purpose: Set the GPS tracklog setting. One thing I also want to do is to create a database of the tracklogs of trails which I hike. Before using this technique on a hike, I decided to test it with a walk locally. I tried several software solutions for geotagging and creating maps with the photos. TopoFusion Rich Owings told me about TopoFusion which is a great software with lots of features. However, it does not output the coordinates of the photo locations in any form (EXIF data of the images or as waypoints in a GPX file). Here is my test of TopoFusion.
