Viewing Nokia location-tagged (geotag) photos on m...

I have a Nokia E72 which has GPS.
I installed the Nokia Location Tagger (beta) application so that taking pictures with the E72's camera will alow geo-tagging the photos (must have GPS-lock status first).
So far, I've taken a few dozen pictures on my E72 which have been geo-tagged.
I'd like to view those geo-tagged pictures on the world map.
I installed Nokia Photos (Windows software) application on my desktop PC -- the Nokia Photos doesn't seem to recognize the Nokia E72 device in the application. (Supposedly Nokia Photos has a built-in support/feature to import photos from selected Nokia cellphones when they're connected to the PC)
Anyway, I manually copied the photos from my E72 to a folder on the PC (instead of supposedly Nokia Photos should be able to do that), and then I pointed Nokia Photos to that folder where I copied the photos.
Nokia Photos was able to identify the pictures where were geo-tagged. And I could view the photos with corresponding map locations.  Ok, so this is good. However, I notice the Nokia maps being used is not so detailed (the maps used are probably the Nokia Maps 2.0 instead of the Nokia Maps 3.0).
I think with Nokia Maps 2.0, only major roads in our country the Philippines are shown, although with Ovi Maps 3.0, most streets in urban areas are quite complete and accurate. (in this case, the Nokia Photos only shows major roads, most likely from Nokia Maps 2.0).
Therefore, I decided to try using several other photo applications to see if they could read the geo-tags and locate them on the map (eg. Google Earth/Maps or MS Virtual Earth / Bing Maps etc.)
I download several geo-tagging-aware free photo software -- JetPhoto Studio, Microsoft Pro Photo Tools, Picasa and a couple of others.
Seems like all these other apps weren't able to read the geo-tagging information from the photos which had the geo-tags (tagged by Nokia Location Tagger).
Picasa was able to find only 1 of my (dozens) geo-tagged photos and showed its location correctly on Google Maps.  (JetPhoto Studio and MS Pro Photo Tools didn't find any geo-tag in my few dozen geo-tagged photos at all).  And quite strange that Picasa only noted 1 of my picture with geo-tag (Nokia Photos showed all the geo-tagged photos -- which numbered several dozens of photos).
Just wondering, is the (Nokia) geo-tagging metadata info in the JPG pictures non-standard or just that the other supposedly geo-tagging-aware photo softwares have problems reading these Nokia Location Tagger geo-tagged photos correctly?  Anyone tried any of the above programs (the above-mentioned softwares are all Windows freeware).

Also, if there are lots of photos, it may take a long while to have to upload all those geo-tagged photos to Ovi, isn't it?
That depends on the upload speed of your Internet connection

  • Email geotagged photos with map link.

    I use Nokia Location Tagger in my Nokia N95-1.
    Nokia Location Tagger geotag my photos and I can se in Nokia Maps that the coordinates are right.
    I want to email my geotagged photos from my phone to my friends and also a map link with the coordinates.
    If my friends click on the coordinates (or on the photo) I want Google Maps (or similar) to open.
    Is it possible to send a map link like this?

    Hi there,
    Okay, I understand what you're trying to do a little better now. How about Share on Ovi in conjunction with the Share Online client for the mobile phone? It works very well, I just pushed a photo with a GeoTag this morning, which gives you a Google Map View tab when you visit the link. The application on the phone and online both let you send links to your friends. Check out my post:
    http://share.ovi.com/channel/travla.MyStuff
    You just need to sign up at http://share.ovi.com.
    I also noticed that if you don't want to download the Share Online client (or if you handset was not supported), each channel you create (think of channels like folders) has an e-mail address associated with it. All you need to do to post without the Share Online client (say from your desktop PC or Mobile E-mail client) is to mail your GeoTagged media to these customised channel e-mail addresses and you media is posted on the web with a Map View. Very cool.....

  • Inconsistent results using the "places" view on the iPad with geotagged photos

    I am getting inconsistent results with geotagged photos on the iPad (both 1 and 2) OS 5.01.  It seems that sometime photos will show up in the correct location on the places view others will not ( they will not show up at all).  In fact I can have a geotagged photo in one folder, synch with iTunes and it will not show up in the places view and then move that same picture to a different folder (which becomes an album on the iPad) re-synch and it will now show up at the correct location in the places view.  All photos show up in the album view.  Everything is the latest version iTunes, iPad etc.  I can also have many photos geotagged exactly to the same location (exact same coordinates) some will show up, others will not.
    I have used different methods to geotag my photos.  At first I was using Photoshop Elements 8 until they stopped supporting geotagging photos.  Now I am using a third party application GeoSetter (excellent free application).  The GPS data is clearly in the Exif data but the results are not consistent.
    Any ideas? 

    I believe I have solved this problem myself and thought others might benefit from what I found.  It turns out to be what I believe as a glitch in iTunes.  iTunes creates a cache of all the photos that you synch with your iPad, iPhone etc.  Apparently it does not update that cache when you change the photo.  At least not the Geotagging data.  The file modify date was changing but that wasn't enough to cause iTunes to update the cache of the photos.  I deleted the cache of all the photos and re-synched and presto now all my photos where showing up at the correct location in the iPad "places" view.
    I might add that I called Apple tech support and was routed to a higher tier support person and was very disappointed with his response.  He basically told me that the "place" view in the iPad and iPhone was designed to be only used with an Apple computer and Apple software and was surprised the places view was working at all with pictures synched with a Windows based machine.  He also said he was unable to help me since he couldn't provide support for non-Apple products.  Although I understand this to a point I think he was too quick to make this decision.  The solution after all was a simple one and one I think he should have known.  I would think this cache problem would happen whether I was using Apple products as well.  I view this as a bug in iTunes.  Apple needs to compare the modified date of the file and update the cache if it has changed.

  • How do I geotag photos in iPhoto for the iPhone?

    I decided to purchase the iPhoto app for my iPhone 4S after carefully reading through the description to make sure it could do most of what I wanted. Most importantly a statement in the description said I could add location data, comments & even the weather by simply swiping across a photo. On that basis, I purchased the app. After a couple of hours of playing with it, I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong? Swiping just scrolls to the next photo. If I look under the info tab for the option to geotag, it's not there. I checked out the app help and curiously there is no mention of geotagging a photo anywhere. Was I led astray or am I just doing something wrong?

    You may be misunderstanding the capabiities.  The location info is added to the EXIF data of a photo as it is taken (at least that's how it works with the iPhone).  This is an optional feature for your photos, and you can turn it on by going to Settings, Location Services, and turning the service ON for the camera.  Now, once you take a photo, the GPS data will be associated with it. 
    Next, if you open that photo in Photos or iPhoto on your device, the GPS data tagged on the photos will show up on a little map in the Places view.
    Stated another way, I don't think there is a way in iPhoto for iOS to tag your photos after you take them.  However, if you use your iPhone camera and have Location Services turned on, you should get GPS data added to each photo without any further work on your part.

  • Wrong Locations when importing photos

    I'd be grateful if some could help with this.
    I used an app on my iPhone called GeoTag Photos to add geotag my photos (obviously!)
    I've just upgraded to iPhoto 11 and imported some photos that have been geotagged. I used EXIF Viewer to check the tags and they are correct. An example of one (in Manchester, UK) is:
    Latitude: N 53° 27' 53.60
    Longitude: W 2° 15' 23.90
    However, when I import this photo into iPhoto 11, it appears in the middle of the North Sea! It looks like it's changing West to East.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    Here's my theory on the Wise River thing, which happened to about 100 of my photos. The concept of place in iPhoto 9.0 is a circle on the map, specified by the GPS coordinates of the center and the radius of the circle. Looking at Wise River on a map of the world, I noticed that it appears to be the center of the smallest circle containing the continent of North America. I speculate that when iPhoto imports a photo with GPS data it assigns a place to the photo if it can, and if the preferences are set to have it look up places automatically then it looks for a place in its online database of places. I think that database has a place called "North America", and that the algorithm for assigning places to GPS data sometimes can't do any better than assigning North America as the place of the photo (either through a fault in the algorithm or missing data in the places database).
    Now here's where the trouble starts. iPhoto does not actually change the GPS data in a photo when it imports it, it just assigns a place to the photo based on that data (I've checked this). However, if you later edit the definition of a place (by changing the coordinates or the radius in the Manage My Places window), it sets the GPS coordinates of all photos tagged with that place to the GPS coordinates of the center of the place. (I've checked this too.) Mostly this would seem a good idea: if you have a place called "Grandma's House" and you discover you've located it incorrectly on the map and want to move it, you want it to bring all the photos in Grandma's House with it. But my guess is that somehow this behavior was invoked for photos tagged as being in North America, either when the library was upgraded or because someone at Apple was fiddling with the database.

  • Aperture 3: Geotagged Photos show up in wrong part of world

    I imported a set of geotagged photos. When I look at places in Aperture 3 several of the photos are appearing in the wrong part of the world ( Kazakhstan instead of Nova Scotia). The photos were taken / geotagged by my Blackberry Storm. When I travel I'll take a picture with the Storm to get the geotag info and then later copy those coordinates into the photos I take with my camera. The photos with the copied coordinates ( I used PhotoMechanic to set the location info) are showing up in the correct location by the way.
    The Storm photos show up in the right location when viewed in iPhoto, Flckr, Photo Mechanic, Google Earth.
    Any ideas why this would be happening

    Just stepped in the same problem on my Mac Pro, Aperture 3.2.1, iTunes 10.5.1 and iPad updated to 5.0.1.
    Once selected Aperture as reference library for photo syncing I selected specific projects and faces. As a photographer I have volumes of material I just can't copy completely on devices.
    I noticed the number on the right side of projects in iTunes were way below the actual content. Syncing just let me verify on my iPad a lot of picture were missing.
    Deselecting Aperture and photo sync, erasing pictures from the device and restarting from the top didn't help.
    Also repairing photo database gave no effect.
    I solved by updating ALL photos previews in Aperture. It took the whole day, 16 hours, but in the end, quitting both AP and iTunes then enabling photo sync showed the correct amount for each project, same on iPad.

  • Ability to correct or insert location Data for photo's

    I have some photo's that either do not have location data or are wrong due to the camera not being accurate.
    I can get the location map displayed but cannot drop a pin or change existing pins to locate the photo.
    I find this is really frustrating.
    Please can something be done about this?
    Thanks.

    To those of you who want to add a location to your photos using google earth. There is a plug in that allows you to simply drag and drop the photos from iPhoto to the dock icon of Geotager plug in.
    http://craig.stanton.net.nz/code/geotagger/
    The photos are tagged with the data and you can use them with Places. It is a 2 step process that will allow you to geotag old photos or new ones you rescan. I have even used Geotagger to tag photos that I have scanned in from vacations long ago.
    It is FREE
    You need the latest version of Google earth. I also recommend the crosshairs google earth plug-in
    I plan to get a nikon gp-1 as soon as I can to eliminate this step.

  • On iPhone 6, How do I display the date, time, and location where a photo was taken

    On my previous iPhone (4S), I used the "Info' option in iPhoto to see where and when a photo was taken. I have a new phone (iOS 8.3) and iPhoto is not supported, so I have to use the Photos app. I cannot figure out how to see where and when a photo was taken in the Photos app. Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.

    Hello there, marklewis.
    When wanting to find location information of photos on your iOS device in iOS 8, the online User Guide provides some great information for how to search:
    View photos and videos - iPhone
    View by location. While viewing by year or by collection, tap . Photos and videos that include location information appear on a map, showing where they were taken.
    While viewing a photo or video, tap to show and hide the controls. Swipe left or right to go forward or backward.
    Search photos. From Albums or Photos, tap to search by date (month and year), or place (city and state). Search also keeps your Recent Searches on hand and gives you a list of suggested searches.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Edit view changes black and white photos to "negative" effec

    I'm having a strange problem with certain black and white photos. In thumbnails, they look fine. But when I view them in Edit mode, or double click one to see the detail, it switches over so that it looks like a negative.
    Anyone have any idea what the cause of this is, and how to fix it?
    Thanks much,
    S

    You can't take black and white photos with a digital camera. They all have an RGB sensor, so they all shoot full colour. What happens is that your camera tags the photo with a label > show me in B%W. iPhoto doesn't know about this label, so it shows you the image as it is.
    Going forward, you'll probably be able to render better versions of B&W on your computer than with your camera. You'll have more control.

  • Add more locations to sync photos from

    Hi everyone
    I use iTunes on my PC (Win 7 OS) to sync music, files and photos to my iPad.  On my PC I have the default Pictures location for recent photos and use a separate hard drive for older photos - they are all in my library on the PC so I can view them all at once even though they are on different hard drives.
    I would love to be able to get all these photos in my Win 7 library synced to my iPad, but it only does the ones in Pictures and ignores the others in my Windows library.  Can I get it to sync the whole library in Windows 7? In iTunes there seems to be no option to have extra locations to sync from - I can change the location from Pictures to somewhere else on my PC but then I lose the photos in Pictures and I want them all to sync!
    Can anyone help please?
    Many thanks.

    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Instagram location tag not tagging the correct location

    Hello,
    i noticed that when I tag the location of my photo, it finds the location but does not tag the correct location that everyone else is tagging in. it would be considered re same location and the only tag available, but when I look at the location after I post my photo, my photo will be the only one there.
    please help me change this!
    THank you!

    My GPS location is about a block or more off when I am inside a building. It is more accurate when I am outside. The thing is my non GPS map location was more accurate all the time.

  • Geo-tagging multiple photos (or whole events) at once

    I would love to be able to geo-tag all the photos from my wedding. They comprise two locations in two cities. Does anyone know how to do this?

    you can select several photos and click on the "i" on one of them and assign a location to all selected photos - or you can click on the "i" on an event and assign a location to all photos in the event at once

  • GeoTag photos already taken?

    Is it possible to geotag photos taken while location services were disabled (or to photos added from the computer) and these to be incorporated to the "Places" map inside "Photos"?

    I'll still be able to connect to wifi, right?
    Yes.
    you can still receive/send SMS, does that sound right?
    Ever hear the term "Sticker Shock"? To do that would require activating International Provisioning on your account with AT&T before you go. You would then pick a carrier/plan for every country you intend to visit. Did I mention this would be expensive, as in "Sticker Shock"?
