DSLR + GPS + Google maps

[DStrom]

Now I am not sure how you can do this if your camera does not support a GPS, but for those that do I found <a href="http://www.iceburnslair.com/mapper/">this</a> interesting little article which includes a script for displaying the GPS locations in EXIF data of your images on Google maps.

Looks quite handy for those of you that might want to document your travels

Seems like an ultra nerdy thing to do, don't know what rock I've been living under, but I didn't even know that so of the Nikon's had this capability.

The D200 can, I think the D2x or D2Hs also has this feature ...

you could probably also jerry-rig some sort of script to match up a GPS track to your images as well ... but that would just be a little tooo nerdy

As I mentioned to Chris at the last mini-meet, you don't need a GPS attachment for your camera to do this...
You do however need a GPS with the ability to log a track and download to your PC.
There is a software utility out there that will synchronise your photo time stamps with the GPS track log and pinpoint the location at which each photo was taken - it then updates the EXIF information with the coordinates.
The software handles the synchronisation of GPS clock and camera clock by you taking a photo of your GPS unit at the beginning of your trip which it then uses as the baseline...

In addition, it's worth remembering that some photohosting sites (e.g. Smugmug) offer the ability to map your photos on Google Maps...

Inbuilt microphone can be coordinated with your existing GPS doing thing like this.

Any idea on the name of that software Leek?

I know Roger was looking at doing something similar after his 5 week trip to Europe, and it is definately something I would like to do on my next trip.

I'm currently testing a utility that does this, can't remember the name of it offhand - and I'm in Melbourne at the moment so won't be able to check until I'm back in Syd!

It works really well, and it's pretty cool being able to export to Google Earth!

Keep an eye out for posts from my upcoming Easter holiday - will utilise this functionallity then

Here's a free utility that seems to do what I said: http://www.robogeo.com/home/

OziphotoTool is the utility I'm looking at - works nicely with OziExplorer if you have it

To think I have been manually going through my GPS tracks trying to link it to the photos
