Importing GPS data

I am having trouble with importing GPS data into Light Rm 4.2.
I am shooting a Olympus Tough TG-1 the gps settings are on and the gps data appears to be working on the camera. But when I import the photos by ether tethering to the computer or using the SD card most of the Metdata information such as the capture time, date, exposure, iso, flash, camera make and model, come through just fine. Whats not getting through is the GPS information.
For kicks I also tried importing my cell phone photos but they didn’t work ether.
Can you help me get my GPS information to work?
Thanks.

Why can't I import gps data from iPhone photos in aperture 3

I have an iPhone 4 (it's already an old model!) and why can't i still not import GPS-data from photo's on my iPhone 4 in Aperture...
Importing photos from the iphone just goes fine...

Richie:
But do you see the GPS of the iPhone data in Meta data section of the Inspector (set to a preset that shows GPS), as Frank Caggiano asked?
If the images do import the EXIF data, then you should be able to lift and stamp the GPS coordinates. I do that freuently.
Select on of your iPhone images and lift the sata
In the lift&stamp HUD deselect everything but the GPS coordinates, like this.
If no GPS-coordinates do appear in this setting, then your iPhone images do not have the EXIF info required, and you may need to check the iPhone settings.
If you see the EXIF data, then you just need to select the DSLR images that were taken at the same location and you can stamp the EXIF data to the DSLR images.
And after that you should be able to see their locations in the Places view.

Photoshop Elements 10 not importing GPS data from xmp file

PSE 10 is not importing GPS information from the xmp file. Lightroom correctly records the
GPS data but this info in not brought in when I add the photo to the PSE 10 catalog. Has anyone experienced
the same problem?

The Google map module and geotagging have only just been added to LR4, released this week. There is no longer a map feature in Elements since Adobe dropped the earlier tie-up with Yahoo. Adobe reserves the right to change and amend partner services and this has disappointed many users of previous versions of PSE. It’s possible that the map could be re-introduced into future versions of PSE but don’t count on it and given the significant price cut on LR4, the decision could be strategic.

Importing GPS data from Garmin Virb Clip into Premiere CS6

I have been trying to add a clip that I recorded on my Garmin Virb Elite into a sequence on Premiere. I have tried adding the GPS overlay to the clip in Virb Edit (Garmin's video editing software), exporting it as an mp4 and then importing it into Premiere. Unfortunately whenever I include the clip into my timeline, the GPS overlay has disappeared (speedometer, altimeter etc.). Is there any way getting it to work in Premiere (CS6), because the Virb Edit is not a very good programme for editing on.
Edit: I should add that when I watch back the exported clip in vlc, the GPS data shows on the video, but as soon as I put it in the time line in premiere, it disappears

Trouble importing GPS data from HoudahGeo

I can't get Lightroom to import geotagging data. This is my workflow: open Lightroom 2.5, drag files to HoudahGeo, run HoudahGeo and export geotagged EXIF files to a location on my hardrive, go back to Lightroom and choose Read Metadata from File. Nothing shows up in Lightroom. Help!! Thanks

Does HoudahGeo make a copy of the file with the Geocode information in the EXIF? You said "... export geotagged EXIF files to a location on my hardrive".
If so you need to Import those files to LR and the Geocode info should show up. Your question says to me you were re-reading the metadata from the original files that wasn't altered by HoudahGeo.
Is there a reason you have to use HoudahGeo? I use Jeff Friedl's excellent powerful Geocoding plugin for LR in conjunction with Google Earth and it works great. But read the documentation carefully about the way Jeff has to maintain "Shadow GPS data" in the LR Catalog. See http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/gps
You can also use the plugin with tracklogs from GPS devices.
Apologies if I misunderstood your workflow.

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

Video import: missing GPS data

Imported several videos from an iPhone 4 into LR 4.2, but there seems to be no GPS data after the import although the video files include GPS metadata: On the iPhone all videos are placed on the map of iOS 6, but missing on Lightrooms own map feature.
Any solution? Imported to the HD both from inside LR and the import feature of OS X Mountain Lion.
Additional problem: the video capture time is shifted by 2 h.
Importing simple pictures works flawless.
Thanks!

LR's support for video metadata is incomplete and buggy. Please add your vote and opinion to this topic in the official Adobe feedback forum: Lightroom: LR4 Beta: Metadata applied to videos in Lightroom isn't available in other applications.

How do you save and view the GPS data of imported photos?

The photos I took on my iphone have location data that can be viewed through the camera application but I haven't been able to see it when I've imported it onto my computer. I tried importing through iPhoto and Image Capture (which lists the GPS data) but neither show up in the Places tab in iPhoto.
Is there a better way to view or save the location of the photos?

iPhoto>Preferences>Advanced>Look Up Places>Automatically.

After importing photos shot on a Nikon D7000 none of the GPS data transfers into Lightroom.

GPS data doesn't transfer with the photo into Lightroom. Is there a proceedure to correct this?

Check out this similar post, it may be of some help. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1270214

Pictures with GPS-data will not be shown in list-view (PSE 11, Win7)

A lot of pictures of my collection do have GPS-data in EXIF-header. Sometimes they are shown on the world-map, sometimes not. In list-view they are never shown. The list-view knows only locations, which are matched with PSE.
The EXIF-input was made by two different tools (Holux GPS Software and Geosetter 3.4.16).
How can I get the list-view for the saved files without using PSE adding location?

Many modern cameras add GPS co-ordinates and these will usually show in the info panel of the Media module under Camera Data >> GPS
I guess your exif tools work differently to a camera. Are you able to embed the metadata into the image files before importing into PSE Organizer?

"Import GPS from iPhone" no longer working with iPhone 4 & 4S

Hi-
Since upgrading to the Iphone 4, the Import GPS from Iphone function has ceased to work. The phone appears on the import screen, and photos can be imported sucesfully (and the GPS data is embedded correctly on the photo), but when you go to the places window and go to the import gps from iphone function, the window opens like it's trying to bring up the photos but nothing appears.
This bug continues with the 4S. This function worked fine with my Iphone 3.
Has anyone found a work around for this? I'm surprised this bug has yet to be fixed.
Thanks
Matt

I have the same problem the screen is show something like this:
And never stops and show any photo.
In other way i want to use it to create an slideshow that scroll the map showing the photos, it is possible?
An update soon to fix this problem...
Thanks...

Want to Strip GPS Data from Photos

Does anyone know an easy way to get iWeb to strip the GPS data out of photos being published as part of the Web pages? The box in the iPhoto preferences to include location data in published images is unchecked, but this only seems to affect MobileMe galleries, not iWeb.
Steve

Sorry, I should clarify. I am dealing with my daughter's pages, and don't use iWeb that much myself. I realize the PNG images on the regular pages don't have this issue. The issue is if there is a photo page and sharing is allowed so visitors can download an image, the downloaded JPG file has the GPS coordinates in the Exif data. We would like to allow sharing, but get rid of the GPS Exif data without undue hassle (exporting and re-importing images, etc. etc.)

GPS data does not show up in mobileme gallery or exif info of exported pics

Hello,
I used places to geotag some of my pictures.
That went nicely, and I now have Latitude and Longitude Metadata entries
in the exif part of the metadata displayed by Aperture.
However, when I export these pictures to JPG, this information is gone;
the metadata of the exported pic does not contain latitude/longitude information.
Likewise, when publishing these pics to mobileme, no gps information is found in the
"information" part.
How do I write the gps data to the picture such that exports contain it and mobileme will display it?
(Aperture 3.03)

Similar to bjrnfrdnnd2, I have the 'Include location info in exported photos' button selected all the time in the Export Preferences. Unlike him however, the GPS information developed using Places (lat & long) does not get exported when I export photos. It is not present when I reimport the photo back into Aperture, nor does it show up in Preview when I examine the file using Inspector in the Tools menu (I export the Master File).
Interestingly, if I export a photo from iPhoto with the include location info box checked, the GPS info does import into Aperture without problem AND, most strangely, will also export with the GPS information regardless of whether the 'Include location info in exported photos' is selected in the preferences or not. The same thing happens if I import a geotagged photo from my iPhone into Aperture; that is, the GPS information gets exported regardless of what the Preference setting is.
Exactly the same thing happens on my MacBook.
I've checked my disk for problems using DiskUtility, repaired the Aperture Library, tried using a new library and also deleted the Aperture preferences file and created a new one. All to not avail.
All I can conclude is that depending on how the GPS data are input into Aperture (as part of a photo that is imported or as determined within Aperture using Places) the information is stored differently and so is attached (or not) differently to exported photos.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or does anyone know what might be wrong here?
Thanks

Import Meta Data from CSV - Export Meta Data to CSV

Ability to import meta data into selected images from CSV file containing a number of fields, one of which is file name. The other fields would be selected tags to import.
Import logic would be, Where file name in column 1 matches current selected filename, then take following fields 2, 3, etc and import into Bridge.
Export selected meta data from selected files to CSV to form reverse of above to allow edit of data in Excel etc.
Further enchancement on import would be to allow instead of just filename, but date/time range matching.
Logic would be, Where date/time in column 1 is within X hours of selected
image creation date/time then import following fields into image meta data.
Useful for example if you already have a GPS tracklog in CSV and want to try and update images with GPS. Assuming camera clock approx same as GPS clock.

The issue was within the .csv file. There were duplicate records that were attempting to load as the ID value. After deleting the duplicate records, the transformation file ran successfully.

Majority of GPS data Doesn't copy from iPhoto to Aperture 3

Having spent lots of time and effort geo tagging old photos Apertures ability to use this seemed very useful. Having left my iMac copying all my pics to a new Aperture Library for a day (17,000 images) not all of my geotagged pictures are still geotagged in Aperture.
Of 5934 pictures appearing in "Places" on iPhoto, only 1746 appear in "Places" on Aperture.
From what I can tell, the 1746 photos are those photos that were geotagged when imported into iPhoto (iPhone pictures plus some more recent DSLR pics that I synced with a gps tracker using GPSPhotolinker).
All the manually assigned photos - some 4200 odd - only have GPS data assigned to the iPhoto database reference of the photo, not the image itself. I tested this:
1. In iPhoto, choose a manually tagged pic and goto Photos>Show Extended Photo Info. In the extended info are latitude and longitude references (the manual pin drop does collect this info)
2. Download "GPS-info". This will display any GPS data stored in a file when selected in the Finder
3. back to iPhoto, and with the same phoo selected in step 1, right click and select Show File. This will bring up the image location in a finder window
4. Now open GPS-info, downloaded in step 2. This will show there is no GPS info stored in the image
Repating the above steps for a photo tagged outside of iPhoto and GPS data is assigned and the image does appear in "Places" in Aperture.
So basically, I'm a little hacked off the all my hard work seems to have been wasted. I'm hoping someone will read this and tell my how I'm being a prat and I should have done x, y and z, but please post your experiences with importing geotagged iphoto photos.
Thanks!
