Especially the deterioration in the roads the further east I went. Google Streetview timelapse of the route I took the first day in Ukraine which brings it back far better than all the photos I took, (8 hours, 498.8km in ~11.5 mins) (file size is ~224MB). It makes it a lot easier when it comes to syncing the photos with the tracklog if you know the time differential. NOTE: If you're going to go this way, separate GPS logger and amalgamate the photos and tracklog using another program, I suggest you get into the habit of either checking the camera time every day or taking a photo of your watch before you take your first picture, (assuming your watch is correct - phone clock would probably be better). This all depends on how much you want to get into logging your itinerary, I like to know where I've been You can then export that as a KML/KMZ track which you can convert to GPX using GPSBabel (program) or GPS Visualizer (website). The screenshot is from Maps on my phone, if you log in via a web browser you can do basic editing of your route along with adding points, etc.
The part in the square above was missing from my GPS tracklog. Log into Google, go to Maps and explore your Timeline: When I was in Ukraine last year I forgot to turn on the GPS Logger on the phone for the first ~200km one day which was a little annoying.
Google comes to your rescue providing you have an Android phone and have Location History turned on. It can do it for pretty much any file, just need to add the extension to recognised file types.
it can't write to MP4 metadata directly so it will create a companion XMP file. Geosetter can also do files that don't use internal metadata structures by writing an XMP file, eg. You can keep repeating/adjusting until you have the photos where they should be and then save them, by default it renames the original to *.jpeg_original so nothing is overwritten Hit OK and it'll plot the photos against the track. I've corrected for the battery being flat in a camera and the clock reading 00:00:00 - about 5 years out of date in one case). If the clock on the camera is/was wrong you can add a time adjustment if required, (eg. Hit Control + G to bring up the interface to synchronize the photos to the track, adjust the timezone if you need to. Geotagging your photos? gps4cam and other tools? Open a GPX tracklog(s) for those images, it'll display the track on the map. On the computer I use Geosetter, (it's free):īrowse a folder with images, (my example already has geo-tagged images but you'll get the idea). If you think it's overkill, it isn't, there are times, (especially 4wd'ing), when satellite reception is minimal, (mist enshrouded wet tree cover for example), so the more the merrier.
I also use other means to save a tracklog, when I go 4wd'ing the software we use for mapping automatically plots and saves a tracklog and I usually have another smartphone logging also. Cruise 2014, Ukraine 2017 - both just using the smartphone for the tracklog) Now I just use my smartphone and the app GPS Logger set to log in GPX format, then I transfer the files to my computer. You could then export that to HTML as a ready made web page, view it in Google Earth, etc.
The program that came with it, (HOLUX ezTour for Logger), downloaded the tracklog from the device and displayed it, you could then add photos and it would plot them against the track. I used to use a GPS datalogger, specifically the Holux M-1200E, the battery was good for about 12 hours and I set it to log every 3 seconds or 5 metres, whichever came first. I log my trips/drives/etc and export the tracks as GPX files, these are then imported into a program that matches the EXIF metadata against the GPS tracklog.
