GPS data in EXIF

Antonio Correia · December 2, 2006

If I upload a picture with embebed GPS data, like latitude and longitude, in EXIF does SmugMug recognizes it and use it for map referencing ?

If the gps data is correctly added to the exif, yes.

Explain what you mean by correctly added to the exif. How is it done correctly or not correctly.

Educate us please.:D

Thanx

Well, there are a lot of crappy programs around that can edit/add gps data to the EXIF, but which is not done 100% according the EXIF standards....

Sometimes, it is added, and shows the correct location, but other information all of a sudden is missing.

Thank you for asking.
Ivar thank you for answering.
I want to install this program (see photo please) and use a Garmin.

Will it work ?
I suppose this is a very difficult question. Well, for me yes, but I am a null in this computer business.

All this came up today as my sun visited me and found it and because of this thread.
If I can use this program I would have all my photos linked.

To be honest, I don't know if that program will work or not. I have no experience with it. The best thing you can do, is try it, and see if it works. Garmin's record the data just fine, that will not be a problem.

OK.
So it was a difficult question as I supposed.:D
I thought the reason would be something like the one you explained.
Thank you.
I have only to get data from a Garmin - which I have not bought yet - and test. If it works it's OK. If it doesn't I can't buy that equipment.

For those using a PC, this is a very simple, low cost GPS that can be mounted to either your camera strap, camera bag, wrist, etc.

Garmin Foretrex 101 Wrist-mounted GPS Navigator

It's < $90 at Amazon right now. Runs on two AAA batteries. The serial cable adds another $15. I'm not sure why they went with a serial cable, but if you need one, you can find a serial to USB adapter for $15. I have one and it works fine.

Amazon also has the Foretrex 201 (same as 101 but has internal rechargeable battery) with PC cable for $130.
