If you have an iPhone 3G/3GS, you can use the GPS inside to track your location. Take a look at my iPhone app GeoLogTag. It's a geotagging companion compatible with any digital camera.

If you want a free standalone application, try Geotag. I use it all the time and it does the job very well.

I have been using a program called RoboGEO for the past couple of years with great success. One feature I especially like about it is the ability to embed the coordinates in your RAW format file. I only shoot in RAW so this is a huge feature for me. You have to have a separate GPS for logging the photos but that’s no big deal for me.

This sounds like a great thing to set up automatically. But one thing – I live out of cell phone range and many of the places I have been and will be shooting are also out of range (on the Oregon Coast). I don’t have a fancy phone because I haven’t had enough of a use for one in this situation. But I was considering getting an Android one day particularly if I start traveling more again. Are there any good apps for this for the Android?

My tool for browsing through my geotagged photos is iPhoto ‘09 (Mac only). I finally found an easy way to geotag my photos. It used to be a rather labour intensive job.

I run an app on my iPhone that tracks my location while I (and my kids) take photos. After the shoot when the photos are on my Mac, the same app geotags the photos over WiFi. Then I import the photos in iPhoto and they are shown in Places.
The app supports Flickr photos in a similar way.

The app is GeoLogTag and costs just $5.

Great article and it would be great if more photo’s were geotagged, it’s great to scope a location and see other people’s pics. Just a thought, but the one thing missing seems to be a way of incorperating into image data without flickr or picasa, so that whatever medium the image goes to it has geo – any thoughts anyone?

I use a Greasemonkey script made by the people at the GeoTagging Flickr group, which allows in page geotagging and then it puts a link under the picture to click and see where it was taken, on a site called http://loc.alize.us

Thanks for the info. I just updated my map in flickr.

I’ve just recently been turned to Microsoft’s Pro Photo Tools, and it the simplest and cleanest interface for geotagging photos. For me this will replace the Picasa/Google Earth combination which I’ve always found a bit cumbersome. It’s also free. More info here: http://www.microsoft.com/ProPhoto/

One application I’ve found to work very well, if you don’t have a GPS handy, or run your own gallery is “GeoSetter”. You can get it from here – http://www.geosetter.de/en/

You have the ability to type in the address, and sync all the pictures with it.
