Photo geotagging manually or from GPX files

KGeoTag is a photo geotagging program.

Photos e. g. JPEG images contain metadata like the creation date, camera information etc. Those are either stored in the so-called Exif header, in an XMP sidecar file or in both. This data can also represent geographic coordinates so that it’s replicable where the images were taken.

Most cameras don’t have GPS receivers, so, most can’t save coordinates when taking images. A common approach is to e. g. carry a small GPS logging device along, which records a track all the time. Later on, the images’ dates can be compared to the GPS log’s points’ dates to figure out where an image was taken.

If one knows for sure where the respective photo was taken, it’s also possible to assign coordinates to the images manually.
