Remember where your pictures were taken with GPicSync


If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Do you remember looking at the family picture albums with Grandma, she would flip from page to page explaining when each picture was taken and where. Usually there was something on the back that would indicate where and when the picture was taken. Fast forward to today and to our digital cameras we currently have. The internal clock on the camera does a good enough job keeping track of the date but how do you know where the picture was taken? This is where GpicSync comes into handy. GpicSync can add your Geocode into the picture data. “GPicSync automatically inserts location in your photos metadata so they can also be used with any ‘geocode aware’ application like Picasa/Google Earth, Flickr, loc.alize.us, etc.” So now 50 years ago not only can you tell your grandchildren where and when but the exact coordinates of where the picture was taken. With GPS radios plummeting in price its only a matter of time before your standard digital camera is GPS enabled doing this for you, but until then theres the manual but very cool GPicSync.

    This is an awesome idea - though I couldn’t care less if Google takes photos of me - or anyone else for that matter, it’s simply irrelevant - you don’t see people complaining about CCTV cameras capturing them, do you?

    It’s really nice to be honest…especially if you’re planning on going on holiday to that particular destination…you can see what the area is like with more variety of pictures than you would find from that destinations homepage or so.

    Great feature.

    Wow…this is a pretty awesome tool to use. I never heard of this GpicSync tracking tool until this post. But my gosh…this GPS stuff is getting crazy sophisticated right now.

    Do I like it? Well, yeah…I think it is cool thus far.

    Hope it doesn’t get out of hand though.

    That is honestly one of the coolest programs I have seen in a long time. I wonder if it can be integrated with google maps

  25. braces on MyAvatars 0.2 September 9th, 2008 11:27 pm

    This wouldn’t mean much to me, but I can see where future generations would like to know where the pictures came from.

  26. Fahad on MyAvatars 0.2 September 12th, 2008 4:35 pm

    Nice software………..It could definitely come in handy sometime. Thanks for the review.

  30. F-Zero on MyAvatars 0.2 September 13th, 2008 4:05 pm

    This would be really helpful to have. GPS in the car is one thing but this is another.

  40. Armen Shirvanian on MyAvatars 0.2 November 6th, 2008 8:42 pm

    This is quite purposeful for individuals that would like to keep a visual record of the locations they have been through. One would soon find the places near them, or within their traveling distance, that they had not been to as of yet. It could reduce the amount of trips to or past areas that have already been seen. This is good for people in general as it increases variety of settings seen.

    This is an oldie but a goodie…great post.

    GpicSync ? There is a better solution !
    I tried Geosetter 3.0.14 (http://www.geosetter.de/en/).
    It is far better respect other like GpicSync. Its GUI interface is well done and has a lot of features.
    Siply to use, almost nothing to do to configurate it. In a snap all the photo are geotagged using the data from logger unit.
    In a word: wonderful freeware !
